People's Court

"transracial"

"woke-free"

Honestly, what does it say about a person who adds that to their account description? That's too much even for ironic language

I've gathered enough from our community and the creator's responses to make an Admin verdict. I'd like to thank the people who commented on this post and on the creator's posts, it was a great help.

@[email protected] will be banned from Lemmygrad and their communities will be removed. I intended to give them a chance to explain "Transracial" and "Woke-free" and possibly make a change, people make mistakes after all. But they've shown a total misunderstanding of the impact that those statements can have. Include their Trotskyist community and the case becomes even more shut. They don't deserve to be here.

I'm more concerned about the new community dedicated to a Trotskyist party. The newly created c/socialist also just seems redundant and you could use c/socialism or c/communism instead.

@[email protected] please engage with this post at your first convenience.

I just saw the post about Trump being the favor over KKKamala, and it was literally just the suggestion of some Australian politician. I think it could be argued that actual polling has some level of value, but just people saying stuff and making assertions should not be allowed.

I agree that it's really suspicious at best, I have no idea what purpose this community could serve other than for spreading that kind of nonsense, especially considering the brand new account that created it is clearly a reactionary of some variety

I do not know anything about the Socialist workers party, so I cannot talk about its validity or the validity of the comunity, I can only say that any sociality party in the United States I am highly sceptical of from jump.

Second when I look at the Politics Unfiltered comunity that is the one at issue, I will admit I have not looked far into the posts from the community, however the stated rules of this comunity both run aganst this instance's principles and stated rules. I will break it down as follows. "Welcome to an unfiltered and unbiased space for discussing U.S. politics! " First we have a community for this, US news, I do not think it is proper for us to have a US by default comunity, as we have done a reasonably good job as having a global by default ethos. Second, we should all know that unbiased is not a thing, everyone has a bias, you can be factual, or objective from your prospective but never unbias, and we need a filter to ensure civil discorse, a filter would allow facism in. next "Here, all parties are welcome — whether it’s Democratic, Republican, or any third party. " this runs affoul with Rules 1 and 5, this will become a theme, but as we all know, both the dems and republicans and most of the third parties (not that they matter) are vehimently anti capitalists, and most of the Communist parties in the US are Ultras or right deviationists. "This is a safe space to share and explore diverse political news and perspectives. Let’s celebrate the true diversity of political thought!" Agian this just feels like it is welcoming Nazis and Fascists, and other sorts of anti-communists and right deviationists, see rules 1 and 5. I do not really want a safe space here for the right wing, in any reguard.

as it comes to the individual, there bio rases quite a few warnings to me, first is the use of "transratial" most often used in my experence by the right, aswell as "woke free" also it is just unusal in a marxist space to go bragging about being "debt free". This user also stated that they are from .world and this community they set up was a direct port from there ,world, dispite agnologing we are difrent.

Perhaps it'll help deconvert liberals attracted to it.

It has 3 posts by the creator/mod and 2 comments by other people. So on that regard, it's too early to tell how reactionary it'll get (though the Daily Mail posts don't help).

At this stage, if it bothers you too much, you can always block it, to stop it from appearing in your feed.

On the other hand, the creator's account is 14 hours old at the time I post this comment, which is suspect. They have already created 3 communities. 1 is the community in question. The other 2 seem to be dedicated in promoting socialist causes in the current US elections. There's 2 possibilities to explain this: Either this is a current Lemmygrad member/lurker who decided they wanted to set up some election communities, but decided to do it using an alt. Or this is a sockpuppet account who is setting up communities where elections will be discussed and they are positioning themselves to control the conversation and insert their own propaganda. The possibility that this is a genuine new account who decided within a few hours of joining Lemmygrad to create 3 new whole communities, is quite remote. I also find it suspicious that each community has posts from sources that would be sympathetic to the ideologies of who they think will be using those communities.

Therefore, my vote would be to reserve judgement until the creator account is investigated.

It might not be the best community on Lemmygrad, but I don't have an issue with it thus far.

The mission statement of the community would do better on Lemmy.ml or one of the ones with more general appeal from liberals. But as it stands right now, it's fine.
