that implies there was a time before the grad

I used to lurk on the Marxist subreddits for theory discussions as I was feeling my way through the classics. There were always to many reactionaries and bad faith arguments for me to get involved other than reading. Then I saw a link to here and I've been lurking since the beginning. I made an account when I was confident enough with my Marxism to join in.

Reddit exodus after they started banning communist subs

I'm a commie.

Through GenZedong

I came here though r/thedeprogram there was a link to this site that was pinned for a time just in case reddit did what it did to r/genzedong to r/thedeprogram. And when reddit terminated my account I came here.

I joined hexbear when it was still called chapo.chat but stopped using it. Saw a link to lemmygrad on r/genzedong browsed it occasionally but only made an account once the sub got quarantine

Discovered Lemmy through looking at the Fediverse wikipedia page and just came across a Lemmygrad post(er) and thought the name was based. By then I had been in a radlib discord server but I knew something was off because they were very pro-ukraine (I'd watched the Boy Boy video about it and felt pretty convinced) and were skeptical of JT, calling him a tankie. Everything in my worldview was vibes-based. I stuck around and lurked this place and Hexbear for like 8 months until I made an account.

Basically everything about communism I know I came to know thanks to the users here and in Hexbear, so I'm eternally grateful for y'all 🫡

My disillusionment in Mormonism and subsequent embrace of atheism is what set me on the path that led me here.

I was aware of it for a while- either from (probably) GenZedong or the deprogram.

Russo-Ukraine war, genzedong made sense, it got purged wawa
