Honestly, I’m fucking tired. There is a God damn sticky in every r/LSC post that says it is a commie subreddit, by commies, for commies, and these motherfucking dweebs are upset about it being full of commies? I could write whole essay about this fucking post. Jesus fucking Christ.
Id be interested in reading that if you can find a link. I feel like it’s probably 40-60% bots at this point just to keep any potential leftist redditor in the lib headspace, keep Dems and Republicans fighting.
If you ever see someone post over there and they spell “fuck” as “phuck” that person has like 3 different accounts all with the same posting habits. I did a bit of a dive into that one day out of boredom. Very obviously a bot.
My gripe/post here was more about the obviously intent that that sub was started with compared to the pearl clutchers of now when people don’t like either Biden or Trump. It’s very “redfash tankie bad” territory lol.
The lead mod, now deleted account, femimarxi, purged the ML LSC bots like back in 2018. The banned mods made capitalism_in_decay.
Reddit is very much a narrative controlled site, by ngos and state actors.
I kind of just stick with trueanon sub now
This has been my takeaway for a long time. Reddit over the last 5 or so years isn’t Reddit from 10 years ago. A lot of the struggle sessions feel a lot like Facebook comment fights too. Something is trying to “mainstream social media-ify” it for sure. (I think I’ve seen ngos before but not sure I know what it is but I get what you are saying.)
I’ve mostly been hanging out in /r/communismmemes and /r/thedeprogram lately, which is funny because I didn’t know about those subs until after I joined Lemmygrad and then Hexbear.
