Oof that was somewhere in autumn 2023

That's not even close. I have one with 1k+ angry hexbear comments

You think I'm "allying with" people because I don't feel comfortable being around anticommunists and made fun the situation here.

In that case, all I will say is maybe read the room? You're not acting in isolation and whether you realize it or not, you became part of something greater than just your post. Like I said elsewhere in here, it's like the fan group or some influencer all going to the target du-jour and leaving that one "mocking" comment. In isolation it's easily ignored, but you're not working in isolation, and honestly, I think you knew it.

In any case, I don't think we're getting anywhere with this discussion. You can have the last word.

I disengage, I get mocked for it. I don't disengage, I get unsolicited advice from hostile onlookers to disengage. FFS!

Yes, It does come as smug superiority when you go all "I work in actual real life orgs, I don't just post anticommunist snark online like you." How do you not see that? Do you see me flexing up my anarchist creds in this discussion?

I am disappointed in you because you are directly allying with non-anarchists to bully anarchists for their anarchist views (and because you chose to shame the disengage rule in the process). You are disappointed in me because I make fun of non-anarchist movements. I am happy that your scene has MLs that are collaborative with anarchists, but why is it so hard to not accept that other anarchists have different experiences than you?

Exactly, that's the only thing I have to go with, and fact of the matter is all I see you doing is allying in bullying other anarchists alongside with tankies. Likewise, all you have to go for is me making an anarchist meme, then defending myself against a bullying attempt and the usual ugliness this leads to. And note that my phrasing was very exact. "Much to be desired by other anarchists like me". I.e. I don't mean I'm better than you, or that you're not a good anarchist, I'm just disappointed and wary.

For a revolt to lead to an anarchist future, it has to be an anarchist revolution (i.e. a revolution caused via the destabilizing effects of prefiguration on the system).

Well so long as you come out of this smug enough about your superiority as an anarchist, it's all good.

Yay, 4th upvoted hexbear ableism apologist in this thread alone.

You should go and whine about it in yet another defed thread you open, shit bird. Now fuck off.

.ML is clearly run and administered by MLs, we all know that. Being there doesn't make one a tankie or someone to be disregarded outright and I never accused anyone of it, but it is still a factor when trying to figure out someone's motivations, because staying there is a choice. I still don't think it's correct for that person to jump to the conclusion you're a tankie, but I understand why they did it. So neither did I call you bad from being from .ml, nor did I engage in "red scare". In fact I explicitly said I take your word for your allegiances, even though you behaviour has been defacto in defense of "left unity" which many anarchists reject outright.

However, If you think the choice of home instance never has any importance, I'd beg to disagree and I can present many examples of instances where simply being in them says a lot about the person.

I don't police anyone's opinions? Hell I even allow opinions I consider outright wrong and even toxic to stay up in this very thread . Likewise, all my work is prefigurative and visible for all to see. But apparently I can't even fucking post an anti-ML meme in peace now for an anarchist crowd and then. Gotta toe that line...

if that is bullying then what does that say about the people doing the ongoing red scare smear campaign based on what server people are on?

I don't understand why you keep bringing this up? Am I engaging in this myself? I don't even have hexbear defederated (clearly). This line of questioning has "but what about Hamas?" vibes.
