I just had to remove about 15 posts, (and someone kept making new accounts) from atlantic and variety, from people claiming we’re homophobic?
I just added a harsher signup and posting timeout as a short fix, which I don’t really like doing, but I have shit to do today and I have no choice.
edit: To clarify the mod policy here, homophobia / transphobia is a bannable offense.
I wouldn’t hesitate to remove explicitly homophobic or racist posts, and I don’t hesitate to remove western propo either (at least for now, until we decide what sectarianism is allowed here)
I think we need to ban online anarchists in its entirety, the Anarco-communists dont tend to be too bad, but the rest need to get the hell out of here, they’ve showed that they have not come in good will, and came to attack the “tankie red fascists” and there can and will be no left unity with anti-communists, white chauvinists, or pro-imperialists. Let them post what they want on Raddle if they want to be confrontational they can stay on Reddit, we need a place for MLs without threat of getting couped or brigaded by these guys, and free from pro-west spam posting.
Yeah anarchists are shit and will always be shit
But at least I can respect IRL anarchists who seem to be much better
Online anarchists are 15 yr olds that dont like capitalism but at the same time swallow every single piece of propaganda against previous socialist states and 3rd world countries that aren’t banana republics for western consumerism

Why is it necessary to remove these articles?
So far, they’ve been only from atlantic, guardian, and variety, very anticommunist western news sources known for completely unsourced lies about VZ, China, Russia, NK, etc.
edit: To clarify the mod policy here, homophobia / transphobia is a bannable offense.
Not believing completely unsourced articles from western news companies owned by tech billionares about muh russia or china isn’t.
Then there should be an actual rule against those sources in the sub, not just banning people ad-hoc for breaking an unspoken agreement.

How is it brigading? I’ve been here for days
. You know anyone can check this right? Stop lying.lol
Removed by mod
Okay, so just evading a ban then by spam making new accounts ?
Yishhh that a hard counter against that lie lol
Removed by mod
Read the modlog. That isn’t the full quote, he’s the one lying.
You dont see to be banned anywhere. Why would you need to make new accounts?
Edit: now you got banned, but that wasnt me lol

Homophobia is bad and we should fight it always. But signing up to a site and making baseless accusations is not the way to do that.
I’m not agreeing with everyone else that just doing this automatically counts as homophobic, but the modlog is public. People can see what’s happening.
Then lets have a discussion about it. Brigading is not going to solve this issue.
I’m not one of the people brigading, just pointing it out. The articles were first removed before all this started.
Sorry I got confused between all the brigaders, and I didnt check your profile or anything.

I dont know why he initially deleted that post, but it was reposted like 10 times, and that is definitely not the right way to handle a disagreement. Neither is brigading from another site.
I made a thread in /c/lgbt to talk about it. Fighting each other won’t help anything. https://lemmygrad.ml/post/508

Y’all, as the mod of /c/lgbt, if you’re going to be making these types of posts, please keep them to the appropriate subs.
Removed by mod
It should be AFAIK. Currently the sidebar says “for anything and everything to do with the LGBT+ community.” If it’s considered a violation of sitewide rules, that’s out of my hands I guess.
Removed by mod
Hmm…apparently the reason is because it’s an Atlantic article? We should probably have a /c/lgbt sub-wide discussion to clarify these issues.
Edit: here it is https://lemmygrad.ml/post/508

It’s not a specification I’ve made in the past, hence the discussion post.
Stop brigading please. Go to raddle, or reddit, you already have a space there to try to link marxism to homophobia.

Why would they brigade this site with what, 5 semi active mls?
Oh yeah…Theyre anarchists
All we can do is to laugh as we gaze at this spectacle, for one cannot help laughing when one sees a man fighting his own imagination, smashing his own inventions, while at the same time heatedly asserting that he is smashing his opponent.
