Lemmygrad and ProleWiki are the only communities I’ve found where I feel safe to be myself and more importantly, safe to learn. I always ask questions and want to learn so much. When I am here, those questions are not found by others as annoying or bothersome or suspicious, but rather as genuine questions from someone trying to learn.
I’m glad reddit did the app bullshit because I don’t think I would have ever learned about Lemmygrad or Hexbear. Both communities are pretty fucking swell imo. Y’all are some damn cool comrades.
for real. i only know about this place because i used to lurk r/GenZedong a lot.
best decision i made in decades. r/GenZedong and this place are one of the only places on the 'net where my brain doesn’t feel like it’s boiling.
I feel like a bad comrade because I wasn’t aware of /r/GenZedong or /r/cth when all the drama went down. I was still hanging out and arguing with contrarian chuds in /r/lsc and thinking that tankies were bad. The only reason I am remotely familiar with the history of GenZedong is because when I was looking for a Lemmy instance, I saw some people bitching that Lemmygrad was full of commies and I was like, yeah I gotta make an account. It was a good decision. Then all the libs were clutching their pearls when Hexbear federated and I was like, well gotta check them out lol. I sort of float between both accounts now, not sure if I wanna keep both or stick to on now that dot world has defedded with both so the few comms on there are on my “fake lib” account.
