What's a better way to make our little community bigger and better that having pesky antagonisms over every little difference we can find.

We better centralize over a single instance of people thinking exactly like we do.

Big /S by the way.

And I'm not even from .ml but come'on, we share more than we disagree on.

ML is run by tankies, who historically infiltrate, corrupt, and eliminate anarchist projects with anti-socialist, anti-communist, and hierarchical methods and motivations. MLs are to Anarchists as a tapeworm is to a cow.

Edit: stay mad, tankies.

I disagree.

I've worked in actual political projects in the streets. And I haven't found that.

You can be forever reading online why some people are the evil incarnated. But when you met and work with people for a common goal reality tend to be better.

Judging without truly knowing is one of the things we all should be striving to avoid. There are wonderful people everywhere.

I would recommend yo actually go participate in some common local political protects of you can find some. For me it was eye opening to see that despite one or two things we have common goals, objectives and very likewise minds.

I also refuse to participate in the endless split of the leftist space, and the never ending false divisions that only weaken us. So for a long time I've refused to identify with any particular leftist group. I am just for the common benefit of humandkind and will welcome anyone with the same goal.

I don't know why you are using in person community praxis as a refutation of an online space being toxic

Real life isn't online, the issue is an online space being shitty

I don't find .ml specially toxic or shitty. I certainly hasn't been called "asshole" by any .ml user or in any .ml space recently. Couldn't say the same for other instances... There are wonderful people everywhere, and sadly bad people everywhere too. As far as .ml .world or any other of these big instances I don't appreciate any more toxicity in one place or other.
