    Same. I really wanted to be around other leftists but holy fuck the vast majority of them need serious help.

      My first account was on .ml, and it took me about half an hour to get completely jumped by a bunch of Stalinists. Ended up deleting my account, and was hesitant to create a new one.

      Thankfully, it seems to be two instances, and I’ve blocked them both. My experience after that has been great.

        That’s kinda the definition of tankies no? Being so pro Soviet/china that you become what you were supposed to hate, an imperialist

          Being in favour of authoritarian regimes does not make one a leftist

            No, but why do you reply that to my message? Seems wholly irrelevant

            Why is online discourse so cancerous. Idiot above me puts words in my mouth and gets upvoted and I got downvoted. I never called them leftists, learn to fucking read.
