    It’s not a very good label for this. There’s a certain subsection of the left that sees anti-Americanism as an ideology, and therefore any state that opposes America is categorically good.

    They’re not common, and they tend to overlap with the sort who’s mom found their weed stash and made them throw it away. Lacking weed, they turn to making a lot of loud noises on Lemmy.

        Lemmy exists because of them. Dessalines and crew didn’t make Reddit for Leftists as a mere coincidence after r/ChapoTrapHouse got banned.

            Hexbear is more sane than it seems but their loudest voices are… Quite loud. Generally because of the tools they had that other instances don’t and just come off as annoying to anyone outside of the community.

            The problem with judging where the Chapo diaspora ended up is that while Hexbear started from the sub ban it has become a fairly different community and there’s also quite a lot of shared users between Lemmy.ml, Lemmygrad, and Hexbear, and then there’s the fact that the exit of the radical left from Reddit was about more than Chapo alone.

        Yeah, autocorrect is a bitch. Makes all of us look like fools. Especially if one types with swipe.

          If I didn’t go back and edit every mistake autocorre CC t made, none of my comments would ever be legible

          My favorite thing is when my thumb goes too far down while I’m typing “because,” and it thinks I wanted to say “be a use”

          Autocorrect is the most arrogant technology I’ve ever had the misfortune of dealing with…

          It’s one thing to correct spelling, but this mothefucker completely disregards correct words in place of what it thinks I wanted to say…

          No motherfucker I said what I wanted to say!
