Sorry I’m a bit late to the party, but I was without home internet for a bit. If an admin can pull the deleted comment, please post it here for context. I don’t see it on the modlog. I think I said something like “Tell me you have a Hexbear alt without telling me you have a Hexbear alt.”
Not power tripping. This is a lefty community. so they hafve a right not to tolerate anti-leftists.
Note that a “tankie” is not anyone using a lefty slogan. Neither is every marxist. Neither is it every hexbear either (even if they’re on an instance promoting tankie mentality). By using the word like that you are diluting it.
The mod of lefty memes is explicitly not in hexbear and .ml explicitly because they don’t want to be under their influence. This should tell you something.
Using heavy-handed censorship to create an echo chamber should not be tolerated. The thing that separates tankies from other leftists is their use of authoritarian overreach to enforce their political views.
Do leftists deserve to have their own space where they don’t have to argue with debatelords constantly? Some spaces are just for leftists and that’s fine. Some spaces are just for non authoritarian leftists and that’s also fine mPeople don’t deserve a platform for their opinions everywhere. They have the rest of the internet for that.
And no, having a space for leftists is not what makes one a tankie
You mean… do leftists deserve a safe space for posting hate speech?
No, I don’t think they do.
I don’t think so either. But they do deserve spaces where they don’t post hate speech.
