We should probably be agitating on .world (hexbear.net)

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.

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.

    It sucks that the liberals don't have to do that and can just say "but did you consider human nature" smuglord or some other lazy shit. I'm not saying we shouldn't make our case; it's that under capitalism, the default position is the one the laziest assholes get to opt for because it already benefits them.
