I've been trying to find a good Marxist instance, but Lemmygrad and Hexbear are widely hated. Why is that? Are there any good leftist instances?

Lemmygrad I can't comment on. As far as I can tell they basically just talk politics and I'm not interested in microwaving my brain by obsessing about politics online. Haven't seen them out in any of the threads I've been on.

Hexbear I've enjoyed honestly. They've got nice hobby communities and it's all I'm here for. Quality of discussion is usually pretty good. My take on people hating Hexbear is people have made their personality getting mad about politics and Hexbear don't share their views. People screaming "tankie!" just seemed deranged to me, literally who cares what a handful of nerds in the US think of China. Neither of you have any influence on what China does at all.

Yes, it has nothing to do with their inability to follow other instances' rules and constant need to "dunk" on "shit libs" mostly by posting the same image of a pig pooping on itself. /S

Such discourse. Much Praxis. So brave.

If this is your vibe normally I wouldn't want to engage and would just post a troll image as well, it's rancid.
