Don't call me "dude," asshole.
But whatever, I'm ditching this instance anyway. This place feels more and more like reddit every day, where every single point must constantly be argued and there's very little left other than hostility. Most others seem to agree with your position, so go ahead and enjoy your reddit 2.0.
Arguing basic premises all day long keeps discussion from actually going anywhere. Actual discussion flourishes among a group who can agree on the basics and actually want to talk about something more substantive than "is authority bad or is it actually good??????"
This community has so far been garbage because it's just anarchists posting links then people (largely from lemmygrad) starting fights on them over and over and over. That doesn't get anyone anywhere.
Yeah totally you're right, spaces should never be able to define a range in which discussion occurs and we should just all bend over to whoever wants to pop in and derail. Great suggestion.
As a result of this community's existence on a site that is often hostile to its ideas, we'll be implementing a new rule:
4. This is not the place to debate the merits of anarchism itself. While discussion is encouraged, getting in your "epic dunks on the anarkiddies" is not. As a result of the instance's poor moderation policies and hostility toward anarchists by default, lemmygrad users are encouraged not to post here, though not explicitly disallowed if they aren't just looking to start a fight.

Homeschooling in America is segregationist bullshit.
In a vaccuum I'm not against the idea of parents teaching their kids, but in reality it's almost never just that. Here at least.
I'm going to paste my comment from a similar topic:
I find that conversation flourishes when you limit it to a certain degree. In spaces which are completely open and have a massive range of opinion, what you’ll find is mostly yelling at each other over broad talking points that everyone is already familiar with. After a while, nothing of interest comes out of the far left clashing with the far right all the time. But when you limit it, time can be spent doing other things than yelling at the dickhead on the other side who you have little to no overlap with and see as a dire enemy. You can talk about nuances in principles, differences in organizing, etc. It makes for richer, more interesting conversation.
There's also quite a huge range within the umbrella of leftism, and honestly we already have a huge enough gap there that there's a lot of worthless clashing. Broadening that would only make the site worse.

I'm not even pro-PRC or whoever you're trying to piss off but this is the most obvious troll account I've ever seen. Go away.
Banners are fuckhuge. Even fitting wide ones like /c/gaming take up most of the page, and then there's vertical ones like /c/anime which are kind of absurd.
I admit that it's worse for me because I have to use the site zoomed in and wish the site was more left-aligned, but even at standard zoom, a typical community page will only show 2 actual posts and part of another one. It's overwhelming.
I appreciate the bit of customizability, but I think they go a bit overboard.
