Recently I saw that quite a few accounts became inactive as they are not posting in any subs for days/weeks, like Comrade Rose disappeared suddenly, including Ratto and Aru, what happened to them?
Then I also remembered Grace, Environmental Data(if I’m not mistaken) and Stalin’s spoon from reddit, they and others disappeared for a while.
What happened to yall?
She said on Twitter she turned 18 recently and that she dropped out of high school and got her GED early.
oh god I forgot about their twitter
Funny enough, I was having a DM discussion with OP about Grace when you got in here. I saw the discord screenshots, so I’ll tell you what I told OP.
She was caught on discord wanting a comrade to commit suicide for being religious, and she was talking about wanting to intentionally induce dysphoria in a trans woman she was apparently envious of.
Discord is a seriously weird place. Y’all need to join a party and start talking to real people instead of making endless discord servers calling yourselves communists lol
(this message targetted at people who will feel called out by this comment, not at you @Rondomi@lemmygrad.ml )
I feel like discord (and other similar platforms) is so bad for people lol. I went a really long time without using it and eventually gave in and joined when genzedong got quarantined and damn is there a whole lot of ridiculous drama/power tripping/people taking things way too seriously.
(old man voice) When I was younger I would hang out in IRC channels and the exact same stuff would happen. It’s so easy to get wrapped up in your little internet umwelt and turn into a terminally online weirdo. It sounds trite but sometimes people really do need to just go touch some damn grass
I wouldn’t mind people being weird on Discord if they at least were doing something with their lives in regards to communism. As it is, seeing people create server after server and manage it like their fiefdom and then claim to be communists when they’ve stopped reading after like 3 books and have never looked into joining any of their communist parties… I can’t take this type of person seriously lol.
And also talking to other communists would keep you grounded and not a weird power-tripping mod.
I say that as someone who is breaking away from my party lol, sue me. I was with them for several years and after I had to take a break to focus on my work for a while, none of them ever reached out to me. Felt like I never really knew them and tbh we’re super small and there’s other managerial issues in this party.
yea a lot of left wing servers I’m in are just people sending commie memes at each other and that’s it
I’m specifically only staying on smaller private servers these days.
Bruh discord is something else. For me, when I was younger, I was only in YouTube, Viber groups with friends from school and Google+.
Boy am I glad I’m no longer at, or even like Discord anymore.
By the way, what do you think about Matrix? Is it any better compared to Discord?
I barely understand it lol, let alone use it. Most I do on it is use the totally secret lemmygrad admin chat.
I mean I like Discord, I have a couple commie online friends on there, but I think im biased because i’ve met some (now irl) friends on there via smash bros
I’ve met friends there too, but you definitely have to exercise caution in who you associate with. At least that’s my experience lol.
*blink**blink*the fuck?
i thought us trans people were supposed to support each other when almost everyone’s been bombarding us with hate on a daily basis?
That’s the way it should be, yes. Alas, being trans does not prevent you from being transphobic.
I should know; I’m trans, and yet because of the culture I grew up in I’m probably transphobic in ways I don’t even realize. In Grace’s case, I think she hated this woman because of political reasons and/or having a partner despite being “ugly” as she oft put it.
