    I wonder, how they would react if I just put lots of Hakim and Yugopnik and Secondthough on their, maybe some Luna Oi and Lady izdahar. Basicly only MLs. I feel like that would not be recived well.

      Considering the comm is so dead they’re reposting last decade’s contrapoints, it might be worth a try. You’ll likely get banned, but that’s their loss.

        It just started up in June. I think someone posted an old contrapoints vid, but there are no rules regarding the age of the content. Plenty of people online who haven’t seen any of it can benefit from old content, especialy when the subject mattter isn’t particulurly topical or just more broad in general.

      Wow, a score of -12 on the front page. Impressive

      I suppose comment engagement is the big factor.

    I’ll endorse Redpen and request more of you subscribe and take part in this particular effort for… Reasons.

    I don’t know if my name means much around here but hopefully some of you remember me.

      Biggest problem was them spamming this link everywhere without asking, should have just crossposted it to comradeship and like a video comm for lemmygrad and be done with it

        Yep that was my bad – still learning the ropes. Lesson learned, and I appreciate the feedback.

          It’s not the biggest deal, was just a little annoying is all, you’re fine

        Was it spammed? I will have missed that. Just need to keep it to one submission per instance. Crossposts should be all good as long as they’re actually appreciated by communists, so like Hakim or Parenti posts are going to be popular crossposts but something too soft-left won’t be. @redpen@lemmy.world

          Yeah like I have a socialist fanfiction comm (not that anyone really uses it lol), they even posted in there which is like huh??? But not really a big deal like I said, it was a few weeks ago and they haven’t done it since

        Yeah I expected that to be the case from some at least because I didn’t stay active here, it’s hard to be active in too many places at once really I wish I had more time in the day and less work. It’ll only be the comrades that were around in some of the peak reddit days that know the username. I don’t want to be an ego about it really I just think Redpen can be trusted and that it is a genuinely good idea for this space to include communists as well as the soft left. It could be a valuable entrypoint down the line if lemmy grows, and unlike the reddit equivalent it won’t be anti-communist.

        They were quite prevalent on reddit as u/lenins2ndcat, I saw people complaining about her in subredditdrama a few weeks ago and that account has been banned for years. If you’ve ever gone on hexbear that’s Awoo

          Scaring the libs so hard they still talk about you years after you get banned should be the goal of everyone here. I consider it a personal achievement. But I liked the messages I always used to receive from new comrades who felt like I was a starting point for them most.

            Maybe I’ll accomplish that here on lemmy, I never commented much on reddit, I’m sure I’ve already commented more on lemmygrad in 2 months than I ever did on Reddit lol. How often do you check this account btw? I normally see you in the posting trenches on your .world account

              Not too often. I’m on Hexbear, world, reddit, twitter and tiktok mainly. Although I can’t reveal the current reddit account because it mods too much, nor the twitter or tiktok stuff related to org efforts.

              I’d be off reddit and twitter by now entirely if it were up to me but while it still lives it’s a space we’re still treating as a “theatre of engagement”. It’s getting worse by the day though.

                I feel like the hapless masses are going to move on from twitter to threads unfortunately, are you going to try and make a presence there too?

                  Threads doesn’t feel like it’s there yet, and it’s unavailable in the EU which puts it out of half the market Twitter owns. I think Bluesky has a strong chance. I will always keep up a presence on whatever is significant we can’t hide in insular communities we have to go where the people are.

      May I ask the reasons? That being said your word lends lots more ligitamicy to the project than the name “breadtube”

          No, I Still have flashbacks from the Reddit breadtube days. But it does add more drama and give me more motivation to post, so I guess it works.
