No. Like critical theory, but on lemmy I’ve been annoyed that POV kind of co ops other threads. I have little interest in moderating, but toyed around with the idea of starting a community for humanities. Kind of like aldaily.com that once a day posts an essay, article, and book review. But basically a place for long form articles that aren’t click baity for folks that care about nuance and depth, but not tech or explicitly current events focused.

My fear is that it’s become a Jacobin self promotion community (I don’t mind some Jacobin, but want more plurality). Also the content fit for that may require subs like the Atlantic, nytimes, etc. I don’t mind paying for good journalism, but lemmy verse seems to be morally opposed to subscriptios for good content, as opposed to just inconvenienced by it. Advertising killed print media, god forbid we pay for it.

If you do start a community, I’d subscribe. I’m a newbie and only have a cursory knowledge of philosophy. Does it bother you when it’s used in communities because you have to see how little people know about it? Or because you don’t think it applies? I’m fascinated by the intersection of philosophy and politics, and think it’s helpful to understand what’s happening with current events.
