If this site really cares about opposing sectarianism and infighting and creating a leftist space, it shouldn’t make the same kind of mistakes people here often (rightly) criticize platforms like Raddle for. Wide-scale disagreement is one thing, but removing content that one personally disagrees with from communities one didn’t build and have no interest in being a part of is too far. It’s harmful to a mindset of growth and dialogue to totally clamp down. If everyone on the left just sequesters ourselves off into our own private domains, it forms a significant roadblock to actually taking action on key issues we agree on.

I realize that this sounds like a mean-spirited callout, but if I really thought this site and the people on it are garbage, I wouldn’t be staying here and asking like this. Hopefully others can at least see that, even if they disagree with my personal views.

    Right now it looks like anarchist posts which don’t have anything to do with propaganda or other countries are also getting removed, which might just be cause they’re lost in the sauce of the brigade and all that? https://lemmygrad.ml/post/510

      Yeah I’m not sure about that one. I wouldnt have deleted it, but I can also see why it would be deleted. That shows even more that we need to have a discussion and figure out what kind of anarchist content should be allowed on the site.
