I'm not really sure what you're trying to prove here.
You seem to be posting old comments/posts? Why not report stuff like that? We don't want that kind of language on our site.

would you be willing to back this statement up by answering a question for me
how many communists do you know that still care about covid? that still wear a mask everywhere? do tell.
Lemmygrad communists trivializing mental illness
I've seen that on Hexbear, too, and I'm not convinced some feds or wreckers haven't slipped through both sites' filters. Don't take something as gospel truth just because the author is one of ours.
I feel like at least half of regular users on the 'grad are mentally ill and/or neurodivergent (as well as physically disabled). If anything we talk about our struggles and support each other through them, while also knowing that many of our day to day struggles exist only because of the way capitalist society treats those of us who aren't physically or mentally capable of being as exploitable as a nominally "normal" person.
Just because you're excluded from the group of people who labour for a capitalist, for whatever reason, doesn't mean you're not part of the working class we want to empower.
I have seen plenty of times Lemmygrad communists trivializing mental illness.
I've not seen such, but obviously could have missed it or interpreted differently, don't read absolutely everything. In any case, communists are supposed to look out for the most marginalized or they are failing on a basic level of the ideology. And the most marginalized includes those with disabilities.
My read of the meme is just that sometimes people have takes that box people into positions where, if they acted upon them literally and uncritically, would make it difficult to do anything as an ideology; and the takes can exploit the fact that people in "left" circles do tend to be empathetic and genuinely want to be doing the right thing and helping people. And some of it is probably a psyop some of the time, whether actual alphabet agencies or "I'm totally one of you for real" rightists.
But there is also a certain amount of misinterpretation that goes on in it, I think. Sometimes a person who is "left" makes a point, such as about a certain use of language, so that people are more aware and will think about it, not as a prescriptive rule that you must follow at all times or you aren't a real "leftist". And then people will take it like it is a rule and say it's impossible to follow that rule and dismiss the whole analysis behind it.
Anyway, twitter is infamous for the "take that sounds like a psyop" thing. Though some of it may just be character limit woes, or people figuring that if they word something more provocatively, it will get attention.
