Hi comrade’s given the news on r/GenZedong I’ve talked with some participants on Leftypol. I’m not here on a official basis just as a user over there. Anyways I’d like to invite you guys to come over there, we are a little different and honestly to have some chan culture inside of us but are a stringently communist community! We’re hoping to be comrades and allies to Lemmy we are stronger together!

    Hello comrade, I’ve also been lurking a bit over Leftypol recently and I find it nice, I’d just feel I’d like if that chan culture were a bit less demeaning against some minorities, most of all of the frequent use of the word “re****” which I’ve seen used too often. But apart from that it is a nice place and I would also love if more cooperation could be done, maybe having both being recommended on the side bar. I am not an administrator, though, so this is only my opinion.

        Yeah, I think that would be a nice gesture, but I don’t think users would be so keen on it, keeping in mind it forms part of that chan culture, but one could dream.

            I know, I am not supporting it, just saying that if you’ve lived like that for your whole life, it’s hard to change, specially in a place that in my opinion receives people who are a bit radicalized and moved from 4chan to something more left leaning.

                Don’t worry, I noticed you were agreeing, just wanted to make myself clear for other people, too. Hope we can all unite at some point.

    Hi guys OP here I’m personally ok with your proposals but yeah the rest of the boards not so much. So I want to talk about something when it comes to language and it’s relation to it’s conveyed meaning. I come in good faith to ask sincere questions. So when the R-word first started to be fought, special… started to be used. Special… then came to replace the ablest tones of the R-word. In conversation one would like to point out something that’s thick headed saying it in a way that has weight to it what does one say? What honestly is ok is stupid to far is crazy to far? How does one convey such a thing that in a debate your opponent is being foolish? I presume it’s to do as I’ve done, thing is I do believe ableism is more then word’s. Ableism is a worldview, rooted in eugenics. It’s the believe that those with disabilities be it mental ot physical are inferior. I can assure you no one their holds these opinions at Leftypol. So this gets to a question of nomenclature. For example F word for homosexuals is used a lot to but not out of homophobia but to essentially call something cringe. In that way the R-word takes a different meaning then that of the worldview I speak of above. Language is a complex thing there are plenty of homosexuals or people with autism on Leftypol who don’t mind these terms me being one because I know that is not how their being used there. I can assure you if that was they way they were being used, staunch criticism would come to the person that did. I know many people in real life and in these communities that use these terms it truly is about context. My little cousins have autism I’d kill if they had these terms weaponized against them. Anyways we should be harder on the world view not just words.
