Hey, welcome to this little experiment. I’m not sure where it’s going to take us but let’s do the most we can with it!
The point of this community is to post Reddit threads where we will then organise a brigade. Post a thread,
Please preface your title with [RAC] (Reddit Action Front), so that people seeing the thread on their feed see where it’s from and can take action quickly.
In the thread posted to Lemmygrad, feel free to share arguments that worked, ask for help if you’re arguing with someone and you’re not sure where to go, etc. The point is to organise and achieve a united front to take hold of the conversation in threads.
For the success of a brigade it’s important to have people go there and participate in the linked threads; it won’t do to have 1000 subscribers but only 10 participating people. However, it is understandable that sometimes you feel fatigued from the liberalism and need to recharge your batteries. Please just understand that we hope people that subscribe here also participate.
tbh I really don’t like this. I’m not against brigades per say, but having a community dedicated to “organizing them” seems wrong. Why not just have !shitliberalssay@lemmygrad.ml and maybe a hot takes community post links to the reddit threads / comment chains, and let lemmygrad users post to them if they want?
It’s all up to you, I can delete the community if needed.
I see that “brigades” organise by themselves on SLS (individually, people see a hot take on the original thread and can’t help but reply), but to me it’s not the goal of SLS; if people will participate anyway, we could help them have more impact.
That’s true…
