    It didn’t, this is a bug that affected a wide array of subreddits. It happened to me when trying to open “WhitePeopleTwitter”.

    It should work again if you leave the site for a time.

    I got banned from there ages ago for some bullshit reasons, I think I upset a mod or something.

    They’re all about that left unity too which means I’ve seen comrades less careful than myself banned for taking a swipe at anarchists or ultras.

    Honestly, pretty toxic place to just go there and stare are horrible takes from horrible people. My mental health improved a bit when I got banned and stopped browsing it.

      Yeah, the problem with a lot of “left unity” is it means that calling someone out on something is “disrupting” that unity and is seen as a personal attack. It’s impossible to have a discussion with other types of leftists who refuse to consider positions different from their own, especially when it comes to things like the US or AES. Hexbear’s form of left unity, where they have certain baseline facts that must be accepted (AES are valid, US state department propaganda is not a substitute for theory etc.) works quite well though, it chases off all the ultras, left-libs and anarkiddies while still allowing people with different leftist tendencies to discuss things reasonably.

      “Left unity” in a lot of places just means "I dislike capitalism but also let me rant about communists and AES countries without being called out on my bullshit. "

      Not all, but many.

        Definitely, their userbase is infested by ultras, and their mods are not a comrades, mildly speaking. Also note how they are quite big sub but weren’t touched by reddit cointelpro arm while tiny GenZhou was banned.

        On the other hand, right now they are concentrated there and banning that place would be like sticking petard in it, it would explode all over the internet.
