Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

Getting sucked into the toxicity of online spaces bleeds back into your offline conversations, comrades. I always appreciate whenever someone checks a statement of mine as questionable. I think we can all do better to hold each other accountable about behavior and in a respectful way.
And an additional note, One thing I've noticed about leftist orgs is that they are filled with a lot of neurodivergent people (talking about myself too) who have suffered a lot of trauma under capitalism. And in my experience I've noticed a lot of toxic communication tendencies arise from that, since not everyone is in a position to get therapy or meaningfully address their alienation.
I know "self-care" is a meme at this point, but everyone here really needs to work on healing their traumas and becoming aware of their own damaging impulses if they expect to build healthy relationships.
