What other subreddits could use a mirror bot?

Communism • 2 years ago

It’s very likely that Reddit will start blanket banning leftist and especially communist subs very soon. As another user said, the Library of Alexandria is about to get set on fire.

What other subreddits would be worth mirroring over to Lemmygrad? I’m thinking /r/sino? Their debunk lists are already on archive.org, but not a huge number of their posts, and archive.org isn’t completely trustworthy to retain this stuff either. /r/communism, despite a lot of people here no longer being a fan of it, still has a lot of good resources, as does /r/communism101 and /r/debatecommunism. IMO at least their top posts should be saved. Anyone can think of any else?

Comments should be saved too. Lots of great resources and discussion in those.

Also, is the GenZedong mirror bot’s source code anywhere? I’d be interested in hosting it for some of the other subs if it is!

I tried to backup r/Russia yesterday, but scraping quarantined subreddits is hard. Also, they have turned on only email verified accounts to read/access the subreddit, so I am trying with a custom PRAW API.

r/sino, r/genzedong, r/piracy and r/vpntorrents also almost backed up

Discussion Community for fellow Marxist-Leninists and other Marxists.

Rules for /c/communism

Rules that visitors must follow to participate. May be used as reasons to report or ban.

No non-marxists

This subreddit is here to facilitate discussion between marxists.

There are other communities aimed at helping along new communists. This community isn’t here to convert naysayers to marxism.

If you are a member of the police, armed forces, or any other part of the repressive state apparatus of capitalist nations, you will be banned.

No oppressive language

Do not attempt to justify your use of oppressive language.

Doing this will almost assuredly result in a ban. Accept the criticism in a principled manner, edit your post or comment accordingly, and move on, learning from your mistake.

We believe that speech, like everything else, has a class character, and that some speech can be oppressive. This is why speech that is patriarchal, white supremacist, cissupremacist, homophobic, ableist, or otherwise oppressive is banned.

TERF is not a slur.

No low quality or off-topic posts

Posts that are low-effort or otherwise irrelevant will be removed.

This is not a place to engage in meta-drama or discuss random reactionaries on lemmy or anywhere else.

This includes memes and circlejerking.

This includes most images, such as random books or memorabilia you found.

We ask that amerikan posters refrain from posting about US bourgeois politics. The rest of the world really doesn’t care that much.

No basic questions about marxism

Posts asking entry-level questions will be removed.

Questions like “What is Maoism?” or “Why do Stalinists believe what they do?” will be removed, as they are not the focus on this forum.

No sectarianism

Marxists of all tendencies are welcome here.

Refrain from sectarianism, defined here as unprincipled criticism. Posts trash-talking a certain tendency or marxist figure will be removed. Circlejerking, throwing insults around, and other pettiness is unacceptable.

If criticisms must be made, make them in a principled manner, applying Marxist analysis.

The goal of this subreddit is the accretion of theory and knowledge and the promotion of quality discussion and criticism.
