Whats a good instance for non-ML leftists?
Whats a good instance for non-ML leftists?
I don't personally want to use hexbear (the ML posting annoys me for because I am a different far left ideology lol) but I think I'd probably like an instance that is friendly here and has downvotes (blahaj can't downvote 😞).
I don't really want to go to an anarchist instance if there even is one, since even though I identify with the anarchist tradition, I am a organisationalist which means most online anarchists annoy me too lol, and there aren't enough anarchists that agree with me on the fedi to make it worth having our own instance lmao.
So which instances do youse like?
EDIT: Aight i'll give this instance another go, but also to clarify I asked here because I like a lot of the posters but didn't know if I wanted to see it 24/7? I clearly value your opinion since I asked here and not somewhere else lol, calm down

This is literally why I am on hexbear. I am also a mod there so in spite of its reputation as a "tankie" instance I can assure you that is not really the case.
Oh I know, I have an account from way back when it was chapo.chat, but the ML posting still annoys me enough to not make it my home instance, it's kind of inescapable. I just honestly don't care to hear any further discussion on China, Cuba, Soviets, etc. Outside of my organisations discussion circles or the MLs I organise with IRL lol.
Might give my old account another go soon though tbh, it might not be as bad now you can browse federated communities.
If you just stick to subscribed comms you don't see a ton of it tbh.

Hexbear is a left unity instance (maybe you are thinking of Lemmygrad, who has MLs only as a rule?). It's true that we've got MLs, but we've also got AnComs, other Anarchists, Dengists, Maoists, some DemSocs, and even some Trots. I'm sure there's additional tendencies represented on Hexbear that I'm leaving out.
Yeah I know there's no rule against it but I'll quote my other comment on why I didnt really vibe it as my home instance

If you want some red anarchist backup, hmu
You wouldn't be a leftist if other leftists didn't annoy you.
If you are going to give this place another try, it might be a good idea to change your settings to display subscribed by default, and then unsubscribe to communities that tend to have a lot of ML-centered discussions like News and The Dunk Tank.
Yeah once I did that and added some less political communities I like it's balanced my feed out to a much better politics / normie content ratio for me. Hopefully I'll stick around :)

Maybe don't have a boutique, lifestylist form of politic.

Lemmy.ml seems by far like the best fit
