feels to me like there should be kind of outreach and way to connect these communities, i know here is more 'left unity' and shitposty than gzd but still the overlap between the 2 seems too large for it to be worth having 2 separate tiny communities instead of combining them into one bigger one.
i see a ton of stuff that's literally just reposted on both anyway, and neither here or lemmygrad is anywhere close to the size that r/gzd or /r/cth was on reddit. feels like they should be interconnected somehow or one should absorb the other. the online non-corporate social media 'leftist' community is far too small to be split up this much.
i personally vote for hexbear because i like the bear.
This is why GZD posters will not come here or will leave shortly after they get banned for posting a pig poop balls to a mod
This is why they have problems with the moderation here, this exact attitude
The attitude of don't be a dick? You might be in the wrong place bud.
You are the one being a dick right now, I merely suggested creating an autonomous region where they can be themselves and you come right out swinging with invective
Do you want to have GZD here or not? Because what you are showing me with your attitude is no.
I honestly don't care, but we're not creating special exclusions from site wide code of conduct for specific subs
Why do you think that is deserved?
It’s not about “deserved” what is with this pseudo-righteous moralist tone?
It’s about whether you want to be pragmatic and have GZD here or not. If you don’t want them here, fine. Just say that. Cut this shit about how you want them here but also won’t tolerate their culture.
Tolerate them or don’t, I don’t care it’s your site. Just letting you know that your plans of merging the sites or whatever will never work unless you hand over some autonomy to them to retain their culture
I mean this place is run by volunteers, it has a culture of left unity. That is core to this place and to make an exception for sectarianism for a specific group undermines that goal.
Ok sounds like you won’t tolerate them here then so stop trying to wring your hands and act like you want them here
It's not like we don't allow dunking on individuals with bad takes.
I literally don't care if they come here or not.
What is it you people even want?
Because half the time you are saying you need to reach out to other leftist communities and onboard them, and the other half you are bitching about how sectarian those communities are and how their cultures are incompatible and they need to change to fit your standards.
You don’t want to grow, you obviously want to forever remain a small clique or else you would be more open to autonomy and accommodations and compromise for different federated subgroups.
It’s fine if you want to forever remain a small clique on here and never grow or onboard anyone, but just admit that to yourselves instead of acting like a big tent when in fact you are one of the most ban happy and culturally-enforced groups on the internet
