As a result of this community’s existence on a site that is often hostile to its ideas, we’ll be implementing a new rule:
4. This is not the place to debate the merits of anarchism itself. While discussion is encouraged, getting in your “epic dunks on the anarkiddies” is not. As a result of the instance’s poor moderation policies and hostility toward anarchists by default, lemmygrad users are encouraged not to post here, though not explicitly disallowed if they aren’t just looking to start a fight.
Contained and respectful debate on the topic can certainly be useful, though. If anyone creates a community specifically for that kind of thing, I’d be glad to pop it in the sidebar.
I think there needs to be a /Leftist_Infighting community made where people can go and argue with each other, and then come back to their safe places to vent and be amongst people of the same mind? I feel like that would be useful.
*edit: I just created it: https://lemmy.ml/c/leftistinfighting
