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.
Alright well they will not join this site if this is the attitude. I’m just making pragmatic descriptive statements but you seem to take offense at it and lash out about.
I'm not taking offense lol I'm pretty ambivalent. I don't speak for this whole site and you don't speak for every GZD poster, maybe there is a majority view that's the case but I have yet to even see what specific examples they have issues with, you've said they have issues with the mods being heavy handed but provide no context for what that means.
You immediately attacked me and told me to grow up and had an arrogant, dismissive and belittling tone when my comment was pragmatic and in good faith. This is why you have this reputation
Pragmatism is not making exceptions for people that might alienate other comrades.
What is the sort of content that we have removed or banned or whatever that you are talking about when you say Heavy Handed?
Because the overwhelming majority is wreckers and reactionaries.
Your arrogance and dismissive attitude surely isn’t alienating though? Insulting random commentators immediately.
Look, I’m just the messenger here. I have plugged this site on GZD and ALWAYS get responses complaining about the mods. Take that as you will but it’s a fact that is your reputation among the online left if they have ever heard of this site at all
What is it that they are upset about being removed or banned?
You still have yet to cite anything other than a "reputation"
You're a materialist right? What is that reputation grounded in?
I'm genuinely curious, as a mod I need a total picture of whatever grievances someone has here.
Also you initially cited a desire to be rude, to which I said "grow up" that's not an attack that's advice on being taken seriously.
Secondly you are the one actually hurling insults and calling me arrogant while proclaiming to speak for a massive community that I am certain did not choose you as their spokesperson.
Talk about fucking arrogance.
How could I know what specific instances commenters on other sites are referring to?
GZD also had heavy moderation and banned liberals and wreckers, yet their mods do not have your reputation. Seems they are more tolerant of dissent or more accurate in their targets.
Materialism is when you argue online and have specific examples instead of general sentiment. What is this point even?
Do you see how you are getting increasingly angry at me for voicing criticism? Just ban me already and prove my point.
So you're just going off of hearsay?
lol I'm not mad I'm trying to figure out what is at the heart of your argument.
So far it's just been "other people said so"
Literally dozens of examples of “people said so” starts to add up when those people saying so are the ones you are attempting to recruit.
I don’t have a verified Reddit account to access GZD anymore but if you do, search “chapo.chat” or “hexbear” and you will see what I mean
