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.

I started out as a lurker on here and didn't really say much, and still really read more than I interact. But over time I started recognizing a lot of the same usernames, and it really just hit me that you guys are some of the most empathetic and loving people I've come across on the internet, and it makes me happy to share a website with you. No one loves people like commies, I swear.

On a more personal note, the few times I've come on here to rant, you guys have treated me with such dignity and respect, and came with such helpful advice, and that means a ton to me.

This might be a super sappy post, but you know what, I don't care. Making the switch from Reddit to lemmygrad was the best social media decision I ever made, and you guys have helped me out a lot, just by being a community that isn't afraid to care about people. It's wonderful to see on a daily basis that there are communities out there like that. You rock.

Yes, I agree. I had been a lurker for a long time too and I even had an account years ago that I didn't use much, but the ongoing deterioration of the Internet and the general social contract on the whole really made it clear to me that I needed to take a hard-line stance on shit that I was not OK with being in my periphery. Lemmygrad and Hexbear are genuinely some of the better places for discussion on the wider (mostly Western) communist 'net imo and that really can't be undersold; believe me, I've tried a lot of different forums lol. The folks here put all of 'em to shame.
