Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

title. i took a few years off of all social media, including lemmygrad, but i could have sworn there was such a community back when i frequented lemmygrad before the break. i found one major post on the topic from 3 years ago and several comments that lead to errors, which i assume is because the posts they were under were deleted or removed. what exactly is the history there? if the community was banned or removed what was the reasoning?

furthermore, just out of curiosity, what are people's opinions on psychiatry, psychology, and the anti-psychiatry movement? i've been doing a lot of thinking and some research on all three as it relates to the development of capitalism and socialism, as well as my own personal experience. to me it seems to be another case in which a marxist framework is necessary to synthesize psychiatry/psychology and anti-psychiatry to come to a fundamentally closer approximation to the truth. topics such as where the line should be drawn between behavioral/biological conditions and the usage/role of psychiatric medication seem to be particularly hot button issues.

There used to be one, but the person who was mostly behind it was banned for a few reasons. Iirc the tone of the community was more "opposed to mental health science/research in any context" than "opposed to western psychiatric practices".

I think there's space to talk about issues with western psych, but I don't know that an additional comm is really needed.
