This is a direct result of 3rd party apps for Reddit like Apollo and RIF shutting down on June 30 in response to the recent changes (like Reddit demanding $20m a year).
The mod says their work will be too hard w/o these apps as the official one is dogshit.
Sad day.
Also, much love to our mods/admins. Hopefully moderating this site is better than Reddit.
Honestly, I think the majority of this tankie-hatred from trans redditors is them confusing 'tankies' with patsocs and nazbols that are against LGBTQ+ people + calling it 'western bourgeois decadence'. This was an issue for me a couple years ago and why I avoided ML spaces before I started reading theory and learned the actual origin of the term tankie (and also met some cool Marxist trans folk). I feel like Hexbear's anti-sectarian policies really helped cultivate a space where non-Marxist leftists could be educated and just hang out with 'tankies' in a relatively non-judgemental community. I guess the answer is that it takes time for people to educate themselves and they have to want to be educated.
Libs: Hexbear is infested with with tankies. I bet they like people like Haz.
Hexbear: Hey, remember that time Haz was here shitting all over himself and got banned for saying smoking weed makes people gay.
Nazbols: “being gay and also gender equality is western decadence.”
Also nazbols: “you see, we need to gentrify leftism so the westerners will like us. Tailism totally works, guys. You really want to make the totally-working-class white suburbanite upset?”
Almost every trans person I've met is a socialist so I figure they caught some pretty advanced anticommunist socialist brainworms
