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?

as a trans person reading some of the comments they cite as the reason you're banned they seem pretty transphobic, just because you preface one of them with an 'im not transphobic, but...' comment it doesnt make it not transphobic to mock people for using neopronouns

"I think neopronouns are stupid and come from a place of privilege and boredom"

"neopronouns are entirely a basement dweller thing."

"I'm not even a liberal, but y'all are so chronically online and accustomed to being in a little echo chamber you can't talk to anyone rationally. I've never met a trans person IRL who needs me to remember 4 pronouns, or needs pronouns like "Fae", but say something on Hexbear and you're instantly transphobic liberal Hitler."

"Pronouns are fine, y'all took it to a level that looks like alt-right satire of pronouns. Trans rights are human rights, but am I literally Hitler because I don't think "comrade" or "fae" make sense when used as pronouns? You seem very rational and not at all unhinged."

"Trans people don't need 4 pronouns including things like "Fae" and "Doe", or by "trans" you are you referring to "trans-species" people? I'm not yet open minded on trans-species, I'll grant you that."
