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.

    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

        What did they say? What are the examples?

        Surely if it's that prevalent you remember some?

        I'm sure I will find plenty of comments saying what you are saying now with no source to back them up.

        I did a search and literally found nothing. Maybe that's because of the quarantine but you're gonna have to do more than "some people said so" to make a coherent argument.

        Let me reiterate how ironic and funny this is, you're someone who ostensibly takes great skepticism and a critical eye toward news about a designated enemy that you have no primary sources for, (e.g. I don't trust jack shit I hear about DPRK from the west), but now you are confidently making assertions about abuse of power from some commie mods on a site you won't even post sources from.

        You don't even need a reddit account if this problem is so prevalent, if moderation is the problem then certainly you should be able to find something in the modlog that proves your point?

        It's not like everything we do isn't transparent.

        Take a cue from your sub's namesake and do some self-crit

          Don't have a dog in this fight, but there are complaints about the moderation (even if you disagree with the reasons given). Use Camas: https://camas.github.io/reddit-search/#{%22subreddit%22:%22genzedong%22,%22resultSize%22:100,%22query%22:%22hexbear%22}

                ok still not clicking it, this other guy is being dodgy I'm just trying to find out what exactly the issue is.

                    So can you give me any examples? any quotes? anything? I'm trying to figure out what mod action it is that they have issue with.

                    I'm extremely hands off myself in terms of moderation unless it's something explicitly reactionary or harmful

          Could it be me who is wrong? No it’s all of GZD are just wreckers and reactionaries!

            What is their problem? I'm honestly trying to find out. You keep giving troll responses

            I didn't say gzd was wreckers and reactionaries I said the majority of things removed by mods are.

            Put up or shut up.

            You keep dodging this question and making essentially a straw man argument without even constructing the strawman.

                So people are mad about measures against swerfs and to protect trans comrades from harassment from the first few I've seen.

                :stfu-terf:

                And someone complaining about the name change.

                Yeah this is fucking pointless.

                You kids need to grow up and go out and touch some fucking grass I swear to god.

                  You will never be introspective will you? It’s literally impossible for you to be wrong.

                  This is why you have this reputation. You could have proven these users wrong by having a normal conversation with me instead of immediately going for an attack and avoiding all introspection or admission of any fault whatsoever.

                  Many of these people criticizing you are trans, look at their user names.

        Oh, the people who demanded complete control over the old Discord and when that didn’t happen started doxxing people, building Hexbear spambots, and posting inflammatory bullshit on Reddit. Super reliable lol

          Most leftist communities don’t have this aura about them. I’m not involved in that drama, but it is true this site has a disproportionate amount of drama compared to say, GZD moderation
