    They posted an inflammatory meme meant to stir shit up between folks that share 99% of the same values and should be working together instead of having slapfights on the internet about shit that happened 100 years ago under entirely different material conditions, and for the record I piled on against them too as did some of our other anarchist comrades because it was reddit tier brainrot. If someone post a meme similarly lazily and unfunnily making the same joke about “anarkiddies” we would remove it and chastise the poster.

        I’m very chill, I was just pointing out why it seems like we are aggressive.

        The removal of downvotes on our end mean people have to actually make the effort to tell you that you are wrong and why, and not just downvote and move on.

        Trust me it is a much better system than downvotes, we have had a long time with developing policies to foster productive discussion.

        When someone is so aggressively wrong or clearly posting troll bait, then of course they will perceive the pushback as aggressive as well.

          I mean i am on hb since the start and criticism of anything ml was always met with aggression, not only if it was inflammatory. That1s why joeysteel was banned for starters.
