r/place is by its mechanisms an incentivization of terminally online behaviour. To really get shit done an entire community must be glued to one app every five minutes.
So I ask, with the growing communist movement, how are we being beaten out on r/place? It’s a mixture of heavy red scare tactics, timing (r/place starts back up after removing its largest ML community? Sussy), and the communist movement’s roots in REALITY.
As much as it would be cool to get some ML shit into digital history with this iteration of r/place, our lack of representation is not a negative, but a positive, showing that a majority of our actors are NOT terminally online.
Of course anarchists, radlibs, and fascists, have the strongest grip on r/place, they don’t have a life. As the western ML movement grows, so does the ultra left and reactionary right, but our ratio of activist to armchair revolutionary (at least in this sample size) is very promising.
So, in essence, fuck r/place, our lack of representation is for the better, as we can get a grip on the REAL WORLD better as these chuds place pixels into swastikas.
I’d recommend to select “All”, or “Local” (rather than “Subscribed”) and sort by “New”. When you see an interesting community, subscribe to it.
Otherwise, there’s a list of communities, you can browse it and subscribe to everything that interests you: https://lemmygrad.ml/communities
It may be true that by amount of posts, this place is less active than Reddit. But maybe that’s not a bad thing, you get more time to focus on more important things than the online…
Wow, clearly I did not know how to use this site. Thank you!
