There are a lot of “Shit X Says” communities now, which inevitably leads to quite a few cross-posts and makes people less likely to see others’ comments (e.g. someone comments on a “Shit Liberals Say” post, someone else on the “Shit Fascists Say” version of the post, etc.). It might be a good idea to just have one “Shit Reactionaries Say” community, either by creating a new one or by repurposing the most popular one (SLS), and then setting the other communities to only allow mod posts (basically read-only).
Thank you for coming to my TEDxLemmygrad talk. Proposal co-authored with a second mysterious tankie
Addendum: may be a good idea to also have one community for ultra-leftists separate from the one for general reactionaries.
Yes please. I only ever have my settings set to “subscribed” now because otherwise it is an endless spam of them and every week or so it seems like there is a new one getting created. It’s staring to feel like the sites just being infiltrated by people using the “shit x says” to spam us with reactionary trash. When I joined here there was a moderate amount of actual discussion about theory, current events, etc but now it’s just an endless stream of some assholes on Twitter saying shit for the express purpose of pissing you off.
I mean there are 12(?) different ones for this stuff on a site so small we don’t even have like, a cooking or food sub. At this rate the whole instance is going to just turn into this and anything meaningful will get buried.
I’m the same. I participate in those communities now and again when I sort by all or local, but otherwise I stick to subscribed because I’m on Lemmygrad so I don’t have to see what reactionaries say. It’s okay in moderation but my tolerance is quite low.
