It's understand the concern. This is just how I deal with this stuff myself. I can absorb a lot off abusive behaviour but I have to blow off some steam somehow, and this is my way.
Unlike what hexbears might say, I'm not trying to goad them. Notice that I never went out of my way to invite their dogpiles.
Yeah idk you defs don't want spaces dominated by the norms of whoever is the most annoying. I've wasted far too much time at meetings with certain pot stirrers interjecting with their own little axe at every chance.
I'm just very weary of fostering tribalism and shit slinging in a time when the left is roundly loosing in the majority of the most powerful countries.
Eh the death of the left has been greatly exaggerated. Sure parliamentary left is "losing" but parliamentary left was worse than useless anyway. Spare no tears for that. Struggle breeds radicalization and if you are looking you will see that the embers are already flaming.
Anyway I'm not trying to do tribalism. I could have easily followed the trend and defederated if that was my goal. I actually like the chance to be criticized from the left. I'm not perfect. But I do have some strong convictions as well.
This is very awesome of you I must say. I was hoping some real friendship from both sides could happen here.
Huh?
What?
I don't see how you see friendships forming
I said "I hope". Of course posting this kind of meme is not helpful. But not defederating lead to more integration between parts what could lead to better understanding and forming alliances.
I see, that makes sense and I agree in a vacuum. I am pessimistic in this case because the dude in charge of your instance has what may as well be a religious opposition to MLs, but I suppose that's more your business to work on and mine is to bonk the sectarian MLs.
