@goat@lemmy.ml it really is suspicious that you are so dedicated. In my experience, libs don't care that much about communists. Libs don't spend more than a year trying to make a communist forum look bad, and they certainly don't deliberately distort the truth to do so—like you implying we're anti-vax, or claiming lemmygrad hates trans people as if nutomic speaks for them, when you've been here long enough to know better. Libs don't knowingly lie like that, they don't think they need to. Libs live in a media bubble, they're confident they can express every aspect of their mainstream, socially acceptable, vetted perspective in public and it will surely withstand criticism from some communists on a fringe forum. In my experience, the ones who lie and distort are the alt-right. The dedication, the dishonesty, it really gives me a strange vibe, goat.
Also I get a casually transphobic vibe from goat, like when they said that people who get offended over being misgendered are "obsessing" and need to "go outside".

Edit: further more you have them saying shit like this:

Not just denying the gender identity of a bunch of this site's users but also rehashing queerphobic "groomer" accusations.
The sidebar pic showing Xi Jinping as a yellow bear is strange too. I know the meme started in China, but surely goat realizes that most people on lemmy have no idea where that meme came from? Lemmy users are going to log on and see a predominantly white forum portraying Xi Jinping as a yellow bear for some reason. Context matters, doesn't it? In China, there's no risk the image will seem racist, but can you imagine posting that image on sh.itjust.works? Fuck. Not something I would ever do. Wasn't there even a thread pointing this out to goat a long time ago, and yet the image is still there?

It was actually a different Xi/Winnie the Pooh picture, this one is even more
'cos of the squinty eyes he's been given.
Wow, fuck. So the guy definitely knows how it comes off. You'd think a liberal would react differently when informed.
Scratch a liberal, etc., etc.
