Hi comrades. I posted a link to a Michael Parenti lecture on kolektiva.social yesterday and got banned as a ‘tankie’. So I’m looking for a mastadon instance that isnt full of libs and questions the official narrative on all these wars. I found two left leaning instances but they are invite only apparently. Anyone got a recommendation?

    toots.matapacos.dog is Hexbear affiliated (not official though) and unfederated with kolektiva.social out of security concerns. Looking at the people I follow who are mostly communists, the following instances may be fine:

    • union.place
    • tenforward.social
    • jorts.horse
    • mas.to very big instance that Yogthos is on
  • PeeOnYou [he/him]@lemmygrad.ml

    i got banned from mstdn.social for unknown reasons … just got an email out of the blue one day saying they’d warned me and now i was banned… no f’n idea what it was about

    probably something i said that was ‘tankie’ i’m willing to bet

    matapacos.dog is essentially the only one apparently, maintained by a hexbear user.

    wasn’t kolektiva the instance that was raided by the FBI?

      it’s mostly federated Twitter, but with a different sort of people

      i kinda like the vibe, though I’m running my own instance (which bit me in the ass as early as yesterday, lol) and carefully selecting whomst I follow

    There’s a few anarchists I follow on the kolektica instance, I’ve also been searching for a more leftist mastodon instance

    I can’t help. I’m only commenting to say that I tried to set up accounts on a few instances and backed tf out when they insisted on adding a valid email. Can’t remember what they were, unfortunately.
