Hello, it's Kirby's friend again, I've made a post some time ago where I asked if Kirby can be brought back here in order to have an online safe space since he's been going through a lot in the past few months. But as soon as he found out about this through a friend from here on Discord, the other day I got a phone call from him where he told me that he doesn't want to get back even if allowed for a number of reasons.

We didn't see each other in person until recently so he didn't get the chance to explain me why, but when I went to his place we had a discussion about it and he told me the reasons he doesn't want to be back.

Again, this is what he told me, I don't know whether or not this is true but I wanted to ask regardless:

He told me that the reason he was here for years is because he expected it to be a serious leftist website where he could engage and talk to people with same political opinions, and that stuff he encountered on here caused him to want to quit months before he was even banned, which he didn't because there isn't any other leftist space online that he knew of. Things that he told me he experienced here includes: dealing with tedious vegans, defending of pedophilia (this was before all the recent Epstein events, it was about Demi Moore if I recall correctly), constant boring talk about gender and false accusations rather than serious engagement. He said that despite some of the users here being from Global South like he expected, most of the users here are western and that despite being communist, have the same way of thinking about unimportant matters and ''first world problems'' like average westerner which is completely different than that of the rest of the world.

Regardless of that being true or not, he doesn't want to come back because of it and requested of me to ask you on his behalf to delete all of his content and alts that remained, which includes:all of his remaining posts and comments that didn't get deleted and alt account Burnin.

Before I leave, I just wanted to tell you that, ask and have a discussion about this website and Kirby's experience on it.

Thank you in advance.

You're looking for a specific type of community that is willing to engage with your bad faith nonsense. This really isn't the place for that and that isn't by mistake. Something tells me you're well aware of that because other members have probably tried to beat that into you a while ago. And if you're, for whatever reason not aware, well, understand that that is the case now. You should probably go forth and delete all of your "friend" Kirby's posts and alt accounts as you said you were slated to do. And then, just go find happiness elsewhere, because clearly this mostly-Western-or-not platform isn't bringing you any of that. Find happiness.

How can a website be a serious communist space dedicated to anti imperialism and Global South if it's userbase is predominantly western, focuses on first world problems and bans it's users over insignificant things on a whim just like Reddit? I don't get how does that work and how can anyone else who doesn't go along with this stuff be here.

I've had my own problems with this site and its westerness, but would you rather westerners congregate into fascist websites or something? Maybe westerners trying to be communist should be seen as a good thing.
