I'm trans and I really don't want to federated with these people if their mods are defending the -tard suffix and they aren't getting de-modded and banned. I also don't want to be federated with them if they ban critiquing western chauvinism.
Someone who is an admin and with more of a level head than me RN please talk to their admins about it.
People here, even. Subconsciously perhaps. They've scaled back a bit since federation tho, thankfully.
It's a problem. We must not allow ourselves to become trapped by thinking everyone claiming Anarchy is a vaushite or one of the weird no politics twitter "anarchists". Re-fighting the battles of the 20th century breaks of the left without gaining anything. Battling each other over things dead people did a century ago in a radically different culture, economy, and geopolitical space with very different theory is not helpful.

If I ever say something stupid or transphobic I really hope people do call me out on it. I would hate to upset people and just keep doing it because I didn't even know it was a problem.
right? this is what gets me. if someone points out I'm being shitty to comrades, I'm grateful, not mad at the messenger.
