    Well the place I was on previously can probably be pretty well described as “What if Hexbear was rabidly pro West in geopolitics?”, so it was already pretty leftist.

    It wasn’t just the Nazi symbols though, it was also stuff like allowing Russians to be called Orcs, having a neocon splinter group fester away in a specific thread pretty much unmoderated (who later on all got banned for predictable reasons), posting pure propaganda and completely forgetting about the “reputable sources” rule, while ignoring all negative news from said “reputable sources”, etc.

    Some users also got really mad about the “tankies” in certain threads. It’s always funny to me to see how close they really are to being “tankies” themselves. All it would take is having some skepticism over the Western narrative, and before you know it…
