Toki, comrades!

I created this community because I wanted to create a Toki Pona community for socialists and communists of the materialist variety, the mainstream Toki Pona community is hosted on a discord called “ma pona pi toki pona” which while an incredibly useful resource with it’s own share of leftists is also home to liberalism, vulgar idealism and hosted on Discord which I do not like as much as Matrix!

I intend to create a space on matrix for this community hosted on the genzedong matrix server, too. If anyone wants to help me sort this out and be a mod on the matrix space, hit up my inbox or reach out to me on Matrix: @catfish:genzedong.xyz

I’m looking for mods to help me organize this community with a reworked sidebar with a Toki Pona translation and to help me come up with weekly threads too, feel free to reach out to me with the methods listed above if interested and I look forward to having fun with Toki Pona with you!

    Yeah I was learning Toki Pona in 2019 but then COVID hit, and then I was caught up in the George Floyd riots, and now that things are stabilizing for me I’m getting started again. I’m actually learning Toki Pona to take a break from Spanish myself :P

      Oh nice! I got into Russian and I know the basics but Spanish is easier for me to get a good grasp on so I’m doing that at the moment, although it’s a bit challenging with feeling burned out and zero motivation though I’m kind of managing to say consistent with it, at least. I might get into Toki Pona eventually again, I like languages, also alphabets

        I found that knowing a bit of Spanish grammar really helped me with my Toki Pona grammar a lot, or maybe it’s just more familiarity with studying grammar that makes it work for me. I like alphabets too kind of, I’m really into logographic writing systems so I’m studying my sitelen pona very much right now! I hope you can find your push to keep going with Spanish it’s really a fantastic language that opens a lot of doors for connecting with comrades around the world! Hopefully if you ever come back around to Toki Pona we’ll have this community active. :D
