Are you talking about leftypol? Because that's been a thing there for like 5-6 years. It started out as thoroughly ML, but I think the NEET turbo-posters there kinda' realized you can't be an ML and just post, but you can be a leftcom and just post so rather than put their ML politics into motion they became leftcoms instead.

I believe something similar happened here back in the Chapo.chat days.

It was enough to stop me from being an admin/mod, but did wonders for the amount of IRL work I've put in for the left since then.

Because Instagram censors, shadow-bans and algorithmically supresses pro-palestinian content. Since anti-imperialist leftist were the first to condem the genocide, they have been made invisible on the platform. Ultra-left are compatible leftist, who don't threaten the empire. That's why they are left over on the platform, even, if some of them now too state the obvious about the genocide.

OP is stuck with "Down with Gazan imperialism" leftcoms.

Since anti-imperialist leftist were the first to condem the genocide, they have been made invisible on the platform.

IG has heavy censorship around Israel. My org still getting posts removed for this. I'm not involved in that at all, so unfortunately can't share any specifics beyond that.

’m sure, this exists too on Instagram. It’s probably just your algorithm, that shows you leftcom content instead.

I'm sure it does I was just surprised there was enough leftcom nonsense to feed the algorithm to have it push that niche over the generic anti-communism.

My condolences I had to close the app after a few posts as it was simply grating on a level most liberals even fail to achieve. I can only imagine the pain of having to deal with it in person where closing the app is simply not an option. It is however an interesting phenomena that they appear much more prevalent on Instagram than say Reddit that has a well earned reputation of being the go to social media of choice for smug pseudo intellectuals of which I feel they would fit in perfectly.

That makes sense I'm just surprised there's that much ultra/leftcom nonsense to feed the algorithm more than even Reddit who's culture of pseudo intellectualism and smugness is such a perfect fit.
