Welcome to United Leftists of Hilarious Chaos – A community for leftists of all kinds to share ideas, memes, rants, news, theory, and a healthy dose of chaos.
Whether you’re an anarchist, socialist, progressive, or just sick of capitalism—we’ve got room for you. Debate, laugh, organize, or just vibe. Keep it comradely, keep it chaotic.
Also, in need of leftist mod.
Or you could visit said communities and make up your own mind.
There’s literally no posts in the linked community but I’m happy to have been informed that the instance is a revival of Exploding Heads, an instance I have previously formed my own opinions on, as you suggest. Knowledge is power.
What’s exploding heads?
The forefather of your current instance but with even more trolling and right-wing extremism.
Yeah trolling is a whatever issue for me, I’m not bothered by it. I haven’t seen any right wing extremism stuff. I am blatantly leftist and haven’t been kicked out of hc. I think tolerance of leftism sorta disqualifies it from being extremist lmao. I didn’t realise so many instances de-federated from hc. When I had my account deleted from lemm.ee with no warning for expressing my disapproval of moderators I joined hc. I’d had fun interactions with Alice before and the instance description stated they had a free speech policy (paraphrasing) so I joined up. There’s a few things I dislike such as downvotes not being visible but when I brought that up the whole community actually had a discussion about it which I’d never experienced before and made me feel like I was actually part of a community. I’ll think about trying out another instance to see if being de-federated from really bothers me. Ideally I want to be able to talk with as many people as possible.
The discussion of exploding-heads on sh.itjust.works before they defederated is pretty interesting: https://sh.itjust.works/post/564252 If you can’t see that link bc of defederation, look at it anonymously or on a web browser.
When lemmy.world defederated, there were some examples of why, though the discussion isn’t as interesting: https://lemmy.world/post/747912
Okay, I’m looking and… the very first post on the front page of HC is transphobia. Right below that is an antivax conspiracy theory.
Scientific consensus is transphobia?
No, the scientific consensus is very much trans-positive. But thanks for coming here to show your true colors and prove my point.
The scientific consensus is that sex is binary and immutable. If you disagree, feel free to provide any citation to the contrary.
Which by the way, does not inherently involve transgender people at all. People can feel and present however they want. They cannot however change their biological sex, regardless of how many hormones or surgeries they get. This is a fact that you cannot refute. You’re free to disagree, but know that you’re denying basic science. You’re entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts.

Basic science < slightly more advanced science. I didn’t notice any of these sources mentioning chimeras or twins absorbed in the womb but they’re also relevant. Biological sex is physical and to my knowledge there’s no current technology that can, say, override the DNA of every cell in a body. Gender is abstract and therein flexible. Learn how to use a search engine and don’t be a bigot or obdurate. Also, I’d prefer if you stayed off of my Lemmy feed too.
You’re confusing sex and genotype. Those are variations within a sex. They’ll still produce one of two gamete sizes
