Leftist Infighting: A community dedicated to allowing leftists to vent their frustrations
57 readers
1 users here now
The purpose of this community is sort of a "work out your frustrations by letting it all out" where different leftist tendencies can vent their frustrations with one another and more assertively and directly challenge one another. Hostility is allowed, but any racist, fascist, or reactionary crap wont be tolerated, nor will explicit threats.

Reminder that "raddlers" have been admitted by the site admin to be a swarm of automated sockpuppets.
Of course they admitted this because they wanted to let the 4 users of the site be sure it would never happen again ever!
Yep! I was there when they were exposed for that, it was even other admins who were revealed to be sockpuppets lol, and when exposed they admitted which accounts were sockpuppets, including a large number of accounts not even suspected to be such
Can't forget that they used those alts to vote in the site's "democratic" polls for admin decisions too, since the site originally had the policy of user-driven direct democracy for major admin decisions (which they quietly dropped after the sockpuppets were exposed lmao)
During my time on that site, I was harassed by a decent number of accounts for being an ML (including them successfully voting to remove me as mod from the damn ML sub for making an ML post lol) and it was surprisingly refreshing to find out that literally all of them were just that one admin's sockpuppets lmaoooo
Only thing I miss from that site was its custom CSS feature, that was implemented pretty well, and a theme I made for it was good enough that the admin kept using it for a while even after they drove me away lol
I'd make an account on there to post a comment a few times and the one weirdo doing this sent me literally 76 messages in like a minute doing some kind of adrenaline fueled email tantrum.
I often told them I thought the site was faker than a haunted house and I knew what was up
