Actually found a couple of normal people for once
(lemmygrad.ml)
Like, I’m not asking for people to like our instance and become communists overnight or even stop calling us tankies, but these are two of the few I’ve seen that will admit they like at least certain aspects and that we aren’t soulless bots or propagandists out to eat your children or something like that. Covered their names out of respect for not being deranged like so many other people on lemmy.ml and especially .world
(Also glad someone appreciates our nazi dunking)
They're not gonna normalize without exposure and a large contingent of Hexbears and Lemmygrad users don't post outside of their local instances. And that's on top of twitchy fingers hitting the big red "DEFEDERATE" button.
I think unless more folks start putting in effort to have constructive dialogues (or any kind of presence really) outside of the local instances the echo chambers will continue undisturbed.
