There are a bunch of sicko neoliberals and insufferable redditors there, yes, but there are also some normal libs and a few comrades, and it seems like a good way to encourage lemmy generally to re-embrace leftism.
I’ve been using an alt to talk on there and it’s honestly not that bad. It’s a little bad, but not that bad. I think if we just try to patiently explain ourselves, we have a reasonable chance of reaching people and shifting the general political alignment.
Those of us who aren’t up to dealing with ghouls (I am frequently included in this group) can just stay at home here and that’s just fine.
Anyway, just an idea. I would appreciate feedback.
whenever i poke my head out of here it sucks
Sure, we’re not really organized in that way though. I’m just here for fun.
I sorta think it’s easier to reach people in person cause there’s an existing relationship with some level of trust, but people can do both.
You should keep in mind the few the comrades are probably just other hex,ml,grad alts and not mainly world users.
Also their admin team like for example rooki are known reactionaries that push their view on everyone, so if you act too communist they will probably ban you, like how they purged the vegan mods
I think a better use of your time would be to get people to switch to other instances like zip, ee or db0 who are federated with us and we would be able to reach people more effectively from our hex accounts
Ive been seeing a lot of decently based comments coming from there but their politics sub is basically straight up state dept propaganda.
They banned me a while back for I dont even know why. Probably telling someone to go fuck themselves or something.
That’s why it’s good to try to patiently explain one’s position, as cathartic as it is to curse at someone. My suggestion was to, in a certain sense, be minimally disruptive because the people involved would be following the instance rules, they’d just also be communists who are interested in persuading people.

Holding certain opinions is deemed inherently uncivil to them, you can try presenting them as sweet as apple pie but the fact you’re presenting them at all is going to piss them off. Remember the thread some guy made after getting banned here?, there were plenty of people explaining their position but they just called us all crazy anyway.
Im gonna stay home for now, can’t take the brainrot these days but I encourage others who can to agitate
