Hello all! I am moving here from Hexbear. I was user ‘feelingyourselfdisintergrate’. I left after I discovered the mods support the sexual exploitation of Women. I was accused of being a SWERF and hating sex workers (despite the fact I do sex work myself). Anyway, I was told Lemmygrad might be a better fit, and it does seem to have a stronger idealogical core. Hopefully I fit in here!

    On Hexbear, a few users like this regularly make long, “expert”-sounding posts with insidiously embedded half-truths that go largely unchallenged and are even regularly praised by the user base due to an appearance of expertise when someone uses technical jargon and writes overly long posts that are too much effort to go through and critically analyze point by point. As a result the accepted consensus on that site has been shifting to implicitly accepting the framing and general impression of world events that has been created by these “experts”.

    I feel called out, lmao, though I know you likely aren’t including me in that. I never claim to be an expert anyways.

      No, don’t worry comrade, your posts and comments are consistently excellent in quality, you put in an incredible amount of work debunking anti-communist talking points and you write in such a way that everyone can understand without coming off as pretentious or elitist in the slightest. This is exactly how communists should approach education and propaganda. 10/10, no notes. Keep it up!

        Thanks, comrade! I really appreciate that, just thought it was a bit funny that depending on PoV, that could’ve applied to me too, haha. Thanks! 🫡
