Is anyone else getting increasingly annoyed at the fact that half the posts to Genzedong, British Communism, etc are screenshots of anticommunists spouting nonsense? I get that the person posting is communist and they’re calling out those screenshots as BS, so it’s not technically anticommunist propaganda in itself but a showcase of anticommunist propaganda, but it’s still annoying when I’m trying to see communist content in a community marked as “communist content only” and get hit with literal Nazis justifying fascism, especially when there are dedicated communities for all kinds of anticommunist nonsense: ShitLiberalsSay, ShitFascistsSay, ShitAnarchistsSay, etc.

    I have a sneaking suspicion that a user is scraping reddit posts to try and ‘seed’ the community. It seems like there’s a real person behind it, but they only check in occasionally given they only have like 20 comments and 3000 posts. I think reposting reddit posts unfiltered is a bit overbearing and floods out active discussion posts. Some of them are great, sure, but most are clickbait. We could stand to dial it back a bit. Just a bit.

      I don´t mind the posts that much but I agree with you. I love actual discussion/chatting on here. I also love seeing progress in AES. It’s good to have positive news as well.

      Based on the title of the North Korea post at the top right now it seems like they take content from ShitLiberalsSay on Reddit (among other subs) but then don’t actually put it in the SLS community we have on here for some reason

        They also take from r/sendinthetanks, I had one of my old posts I made here reposted on lemmygrad as such with the exact same title. Not mad at all btw I’m happy to be scrolling through old reddit posts since I don’t use reddit at all anymore

        I mean, everyone takes content from other places. I think the difference is using personal judgement to distinguish what’s going to add something to the discussion. I’m getting kind of tired of the Simpson’s posts at this point. We don’t need more Simpson’s posts unless it’s a real banger.

      I know exactly who you’re talking about. One of my posts were stolen and they even used the e x a c t same title I used on reddit smh 😒. I dunno, maybe they’re just not as comfortable with discussing actual theory, but their skimpy comment history is kinda strange.
