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?

Strange question. Nothing's wrong with them? Nobody's hating on them. Just people...

Because liberals and other right wingers hate when they find out they're not actually "as left as you can get" and coming here and having that black mirror reflection is always a shock

With how much anticommunism goes down in the federation I sometimes wish the developers would hide some code that would kick people who do this off the entire federation. Don't use a fucking communist platform to get away from the failing capitalist one and then spend all your time being McCarthy's left nutsack. I know that's never going to happen because that goes against the developer's values, but god damn would it be justified as fuck if it happened, and it would stop like 99.9999% of the toxicity and CSAM that gets posted here.
