Is anyone else getting increasingly annoyed at the fact that half the posts to Genzedong, British Communism, etc are screenshots of anticommunists spouting nonsense? I get that the person posting is communist and they’re calling out those screenshots as BS, so it’s not technically anticommunist propaganda in itself but a showcase of anticommunist propaganda, but it’s still annoying when I’m trying to see communist content in a community marked as “communist content only” and get hit with literal Nazis justifying fascism, especially when there are dedicated communities for all kinds of anticommunist nonsense: ShitLiberalsSay, ShitFascistsSay, ShitAnarchistsSay, etc.
Take a Marxist approach to try to figure out why lemmygrad isn’t as successful as the pre quarantine genzedong sub, well the most obvious reason and perhaps the biggest contributor is the fact that Lemmygrad simply does not have a large enough concurrent user base, most of post here by the same few people who, albeit not desperately, are still trying very hard to keep lemmygrad afloat. Genzedong sub, staying true to the leftist “unity” meme, split into 70 different groups after the quarantine with the 71st group decided they will stay on Reddit anyway. Essentially lemmygrad lacks diversity, with a real concern that it might turn into a echo chamber of political opinion rather than a place of learning and discussion.
