        It is funny how many people there are here are like “I despise this niche, small, online community and everyone in it! Which is why I actively participate in it FAR more than the average user!”

        I mean it’s not a lot but it’s more than I’d expect.

          You do hate to see it, ngl. It’s like League of Legends players who hate the game I guess. I kinda get it if the niche, small, online community is the only discussion space for a thing, but still…

            We are kinda the only ML online space that doesn’t have a bunch of weird PatSoc social regressives bumbling around, that I know of at least shrug-outta-hecks

              I mean I have noticed a different vibe on here seeing the posts in Lemmy /r/all so I agree with some of the earlier posts in this thread, but I’ve had it with people comparing everything to a Twitch stream/yt/discord complex with like 400 viewers. Post your list of “all the online spaces”. I demand the list.

                I maybe should have said “forum” specifically.

                Pretty much every other ML or Maoist forum I ever participated in either got banned or a bunch of weirdos who were really more just nationalists for countries that are/were socialist showed up and started posting all the time about how Furries should be sent to a gulag and other weird shit. But then again I don’t leave Hex much these days so maybe things have changed

                    This was years ago and mostly on Reddit subs I’m pretty sure are all banned now so I don’t really have anything for you shrug-outta-hecks

                    Edit: Pretty sure all these people moved to Twitter now, just look for anyone with a Mao avatar but who also uses the word “d*generate” unironically.
