This is literally just bait and has no place in this community. Moderators should delete this on that grounds alone.

If it’s allowed, then I wouldn’t begrudge any Hexbear user(s) from spamming the comm with random political theory posts, especially those of the communist variety

That’s why I think it should be left up.

If someone wants to call us out, then we have the right to be able to argue against them.

Also it is literally the Politics channel so how can political theory posts be considered spam?

Yeah everyone should have that right, but I don’t think it does anyone any favors to allow these type of posts on this comm.

It’s one thing to invite dunking on yourself in the comments section of a topical post. It’s another to create posts just for the sake of stoking inter instance drama in a comm not made for that.

Yeah that’s true on the one hand, but on the other, I would leave it up just for accountability. It is about politics in every way, even if it has a meta nature.

Plus by leaving it up they get to show their ass and it invites people to come and explain how they are wrong.

Attempting to master baiting in public should certainly have consequences, but covering it up isn’t going to make them stop.

Especially considering the poster doesn’t seem to have any interest in either explaining or defending what it’s supposed to mean. Like, I enjoy talking about politics as much as the next person but it doesn’t look like OP wants to discuss anything.

Not with you, no.

They have fallen victim to the great purge so it’s possible they’ve replied but we can’t see them
