Is the role of Dessalines and the other developers who work on Lemmy (the only FOSS substitute for Reddit) as important as the role of those people who organize leftists in real life? (lemmygrad.ml)

Does the online left and the developers who make the online left possible, have an important role in the fight against capitalism or are we all just wasting our time instead of putting more time into real life organization?

I mean... historically... somebody had to keep the printing presses running that were used to distribute newsletters by the various revolutionary groups right?

So maybe, not so much a "more important/less important" hierarchy and more of a "one cog in a system and another cog in a system".

I think “cog in the system” sounds very somber. I think what you mean is “different roles in the funnel”?
