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

Anyone have any good recommendations leftist Mastodon instances? I generally use Mastodon as a more relaxed backup account where I can blog about gardening, game dev, and media in general, but I do also talk about politics a fair bit. I'd been using gamedev.lgbt because the owner of it is pro-Palestine, but they're not fond of me using my Kamala edit as my pfp - which kind of sours the whole account gimmick - so I'm thinking of moving.

https://toots.matapacos.dog/ Is a good one, run by Hexbear users

I'm on the "kolektiva.social" instance; however, I want to migrate to the "toots.matapacos.dog" instance because I think that they are more tolerant of Marxist ideas there. If you read the rules of "kolektiva.social", they say that Marxist "propaganda" is not allowed.


I've been waiting for over 24 hours and still haven't been approved on 'toots.matapacos.dog'. Is it normal for them to take this long, or won't they approve me? I'd like to know more options... In Spanish, I know about 'rda.komintern.work' but it's very small and I don't know how hard it is to get approved there.

Yeah, that plus them having been raided by the feds and handed over unsecured user data in the past makes me very wary.

Took me like two days to get verified. Matapacos.dog doesn't federate with kolektiva.social, so you can't interact with folk from there which is kind of annoying, but you could migrate there (sans followers from kolektiva.social) if you use a go between instance.

I'm on kolektiva.social, never had any problems with them

They seem to not like MLs too much, plus there was a thing with the feds raiding them a few years ago and getting their hands on all their users' unsecured data.
