Thanks for posting this. I want to bring up something else. The mod team on chapo.chat at least has a pretty neutral stance on China Good/Bad. Not to say individual mods have their own biases, but the anarchists hold the ML mods accountable and vice versa. On this site the only permitted view is that China is bad. At least on Chapo you get to hear from both positions.

And there are more anarchists on the site than here if we are being fully honest. I may call myself a posadist, cause Dolphins are neat and I want to go to space, but I'm actually a syndicalist, shhhhhhh.

Yes! We have so many anarchists on chapo.chat. It's honestly refreshing having such a diversity of views. And it proves left unity can work if the management works to uphold it.

I'm really glad you guys went with Lemmy instead of Raddle. This place is so toxic and anti-leftist. I don't know why any leftist would come to this site when the mods openly admit to hating us.

It just wouldn't have made sense for us to exist in this ecosystem when nearly everyone on the chapo team is an ML. I don't want to rag on Raddle too much since I came here in peace, but it's not just not the right platform for what we're trying to do at our site. We want to work towards an open society that can really embrace Marxist values and show that leftists can be united towards a common goal.

As you seem to have also noticed, Raddle seems to have a strong individualist streak that turns off even most anarchists, and I believe that is why you anarchists are much more comfortable on chapo.chat than here. All the other anarchists I've spoken to say Raddle is best avoided altogether for various reasons. It really doesn't seem like anyone wants to be here.

I know, all my fellow anarchist comrades have said the same thing. This site is just not worth the trouble. It's filled with sectarian nonsense, like all they talk about is China bad USSR bad NK bad... Enough already.

Yes it's very unfortunate that the anarchists here are so sectarian. The anarchists on chapo.chat are much friendlier and more open to new ideas.

Indeed. I actually have a lot of anarchist friends who are completely accepting of my ML positions and respectful when we debate, which is an entirely different experience than you get on Raddle, where MLs are treated like we are filthy animals.
