The only reason to get mad at someone calling you a bad leftist is if you think it might be true. People will absolutely prey on your insecurity to make themselves feel like their chronic posting habit is praxis. The solution is to not be insecure. Be humble, do honest self-critique. Don't let lonely people work out their frustrations on you. There is a difference between pipe-lining and emotional blackmail.

            Element information

            Element is a messaging app that lets you talk to people over the Matrix protocol.

            To get started, check out this link, where you can choose to either download Element for your platform or, if on a computer, open it in a browser ("Launch Element Web").

            The instructions that follow are for the desktop application and the web application, but the process is similar on all apps:

            • Press "Create Account"
            • We host our own Matrix server, so if you want you can change matrix.org to chapo.chat. This is completely optional; users who sign up with a matrix.org username can still talk to people with chapo.chat username. (Note: It is chapo.chat, not hexbear.net. Also, registrations aren't always open on chapo.chat; if they're not, just create an account on matrix.org)
            • Fill in a username and password
            • Hit register, and you're done!

            You can reach out to Ella via Matrix or me via Matrix to get invited to mod chat
