Hi comrades. I posted a link to a Michael Parenti lecture on kolektiva.social yesterday and got banned as a 'tankie'. So I'm looking for a mastadon instance that isnt full of libs and questions the official narrative on all these wars. I found two left leaning instances but they are invite only apparently. Anyone got a recommendation?

toots.matapacos.dog is Hexbear affiliated (not official though) and unfederated with kolektiva.social out of security concerns. Looking at the people I follow who are mostly communists, the following instances may be fine:

  • union.place
  • tenforward.social
  • jorts.horse
  • mas.to very big instance that Yogthos is on

matapacos defederated from kolektiva for what security concerns? i too am a kolektiva user hiding my power level and looking to migrate, but i dont want to lose the comrades ive met on kolektiva :(

The FBI obtained an unencrypted copy of their database, and then the Kolektiva admins took over a month to tell people about it. Matapacos did a poll on whether to defederate and it was a 11-4 decision to do so. Here is the full thread on the matter. https://toots.matapacos.dog/@porkroll/110647135565812578

Likewise, we defederated from mastodon.world because one of their admins was trying to dox people. There was no vote on that though. Here's the toot on that. https://toots.matapacos.dog/@porkroll/110861825359049168

You will probably want to find a go-between instance that federates both with Kolektiva and matapacos then.

those links don't work. also i noticed i follow @prolewiki@matapacos.dog perfectly fine, though a lot of the acct's follows/followers dont show up from kolektiva. are you sure it's still defederated?

[-] iridaniotter@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Oh shoot you probably need an account to view it then? IDK why you can follow prolewiki. Maybe I am misunderstanding something about suspension.

i got banned from mstdn.social for unknown reasons .. just got an email out of the blue one day saying they'd warned me and now i was banned.. no f'n idea what it was about

probably something i said that was 'tankie' i'm willing to bet

[-] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Were you p****g on anyone at the time? That would probably do it tbh.

[-] marti_abernathey@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Lol Tankie is now=leftist/communist/anarchist I don’t agree with.

[-] lemmyseizethemeans@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 1 year ago

It's the new McCarthy witch-hunt except saying "commie" is too pathetic so now the fashionable invective is "Tankie"

First you dehumanize opposition...

[-] CriticalResist8@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 year ago

matapacos.dog is essentially the only one apparently, maintained by a hexbear user.

wasn't kolektiva the instance that was raided by the FBI?

[-] Cysioland@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago

yeah, kolektiva is extremely "western anarchist"

[-] lemmyseizethemeans@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Middle class lib anarchist. Never been arrested protesting war anarchist. Sure as hell ain't in the streets anarchist

[-] comradeRichard@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago

There's a few anarchists I follow on the kolektica instance, I've also been searching for a more leftist mastodon instance

[-] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I can't help. I'm only commenting to say that I tried to set up accounts on a few instances and backed tf out when they insisted on adding a valid email. Can't remember what they were, unfortunately.
