MODERATORS
Hexbear.net is a Left-Unity instance populated mainly by Marxists and Anarchists. They generally don't get along with Lemmy.world, whose admins defederated from the major Marxist-aligned instances.
Whether you block Hexbear is up to you, I enjoy my time there a lot but it's also because I'm a Marxist. The ones saying they are "pretending" to be Leftist never seem to be able to explain why a large group of people would all ironically have theory reading groups and ironically support trans rights for years, even before federating with anyone else. What would they have to gain?
If I were you, I'd ask on an instance actually federated with them. You'll get different perspectives than you will here, which is always the case when it comes to controversial topics like Marxism, where opinion varies greatly from instance to instance.
Credit where credit is due, youre honest and youre correct. Have my upvote!
I try to be both, lol. Thanks!

You should block hexbear
Hexbear, lemmygrad and (in great part) lemmy.ml are tankie instances.
They basically deny any crimes of Stalin, Mao etc…

Its a leftist space that sometimes has trolls
TLDR: they are right-wingers pretending to be left wing
Why would supposed right-wingers be holding Leftist theory reading groups, hosting mutual aid comms, donating to Palestinian gofundmes, and supporting trans rights to some of the highest degrees on the fediverse? Irony? Seems like a silly hypothesis.
hosting mutual aid comms
I've seen those posts (I have no filter).... "I need money for rent" 🦗 🦗 🦗
What does the Y axis represent here?
Technically, the X-axis doesn't represent anything either, as the far-right plot point curves upward, rather than continuing.
"Y" is the name of one of the major meme/shitpost contributors on lemmy.ml
