    I visit .ml and while I do occasionally get cross threaded with them they are, overall, not terrible. Yes some of the people associated with their instance can be over the top but by and large they are just people with a different viewpoint.

    I tried to do the same with hexbear but ultimately couldn’t, which may be my problem more than theirs.

      I’m fairly left on the political spectrum, probably further than most, but hexbear and a lot of .ml are left to the max, as in they’re tankies. I can’t stand right-wingers much, but tankies are worse by a large margin.

      Shit, they attempted to harass and dox me when I offered an opinion that didn’t agree with their very rigid worldview. I kept poking at their stubbornness then they banned me. I’m a stubborn SOAB myself.

      Now I’m questioning if I should continue to use this platform. I’ve definitely started using it less since then, knowing that this platform is run by tankies.

        I’ve had the same experience. Hexbear won’t accept any nuance when it comes to Palestine or homeless people.

              No dawg, you’re thinking of socdems. Which are still better than tankies.

                  You must hate all countries then because they all use aspects of capitalism to further their gains. I agree though the goal is to ween off of capitalism into proletariat owned socialism. Unfortunately for tankies I won’t be used as a tool for their wanton violence against those that disagree. My demsoc flavor emphasizes humanism over hatred.

              I genuinely don’t get why y’all use this as an insult. Liberal has been bastardized from its original roots of pretty much modern day libertarianism, which is a deeply unserious party. Not even corrupt neolibs compare to that.

              Here’s where you might get me, I don’t see us transitioning into a socialist system without excessive violence, unless we use capitalism to get us there. I don’t want violence that’s undue, I don’t want the death of innocents, and I don’t want authoritarianism from a single fallible person. Corruption is always the ruining factor of any ideology.

              I fail to see how those views qualify me as a liberal, not even a neolib.

      Not necessarily, they resemble the way conservatives comments way too much, I avoid it as much as possible. They use the same things right wingers use to prove a point
