Did you all notice that week or so of utter shock from federated Lemmy liberals when they saw takes to the left of themselves?
(hexbear.net)
I don't just mean outrage or regular rage, I mean shock that someone was to the left of "legal weed and free college but only for those that operate a successful business for 3 years in a disadvantaged community" 
takes.
I think federating took them by surprise, looking back. For about a week, those smug liberals were at a loss to even fathom what Hexbears were saying, and could only chant bullshit about how we're Russian/Chinese bots.
Sure they still do that but they've slightly adapted to Hexbear presence.
I'm new here, but from my understanding we're a leftist unity instance! So folks will have opinions across the spectrum. Communists and anarchists generally do not like democratic socialism, or think that it isn't a viable way to achieve socialism. Most Hexbear users from my understanding and experience seem to fall into one of those two camps, but you're still welcome :)
uh theres a breaking point to left unity
-no wreckers -no social democrats (liberalism, also rosa learned the hard way) -no pushing of electoralism as the end all be all strat. It is useful in a minor extent, and only for communist party power. -no uninformed bashing of AES or bringing up debunked nonsense.
but asking questions and whatnot is completely fine, and its fine to chill, theres just still rules that we must go by. Being to lax can have its consequences.
