Honestly I don't have the energy right now to go digging through old posts but there is a reason we defederated from blahaj, and it was well documented on hexbear at one point.
196 on reddit was originally kind of alright but lax moderation allowed chasers and reactionaries in and they basically took over the subreddit and then inserted themselves into blahaj. Ada refused to acknowledge this problem and we severed ties but it looks like she realized we were right as I hear there are talks of refederating as one of our conditions was the removal of the 196 mods and tightening up moderation on their end.
More like just libertarian at the end. Anticommunism ran rampant and allowed fascists to insert themselves into moderation positions at which point it just became a reactionary shithole.
My advice is be very wary of any community the is specifically "anti-tankie" it always leads to the same thing.
Tankie is just another iteration of anti-communist dogwhistles, like "woke" or "sjw" or most recently "DEI".
They hate us because we are honest with our goals and aims and that they are correct. The communists disdain to hide their views and aims for they know that they can only succeed through the total overthrow of all social and economic institutions. We have nothing to lose but our chains, and a world to win.
This is the best I could find, though I don't think it substantiates claims being made. It's also over a year old and so might not represent the current state of 196.
Perhaps 196 has changed, but they were a significant part of why Hexbear isn't fedded with blahaj. Now that 196 is gone/going, both sides are a lot more willing to federate.
Nice! I always found it sad how the entirety of hexbear and blahaj were separated just because of one community.
