Here we can collect the data for desired communities, then later we will explore if those communities exist or not (I am thinking of making a checklist to explain my thinking)

    I think we need a programming community!

      That’ll be nice, there seems to be programming community already just needs our “force feeding” to jump start it!

        I think there should be a general focus on tech and left hacking. And the techscape already is cringely neoliberal. We should fight that.

    Does this mean this thread is for replying with what communities we would like to see?

      Yep, sorry if that wasn’t clear, lol

    Maybe a community for sharing material (memes videos posters ideas whatever) for radicalizing libs?

      It’ll be fun to get the propaganda machine up and running!

        It’s not propaganda if it’s true ;) But I know what you mean

    Another idea: a sort of hub for non-ML’s to test the waters? Can’t be too condescending but I understand we can’t be too loosey goosey about people using this site either. I am just interested in getting people in, maybe they cringe at the idea of being a communist but, hey look, we have XYZ not-super-political communities and everyone seems cool here…maybe I should just try and see what they’re about…talk to some people (who should be comrades who are very patient, good speakers etc.)

    I definitely think there should be a “serious” community for developing projects such as psyops, memes, maybe even at some point larger projects like videos and other media (the more the better, 100 different people will require 100 different ways to be convinced of communism). Somewhere to lay out an agreed upon agenda and contribute to it in whatever way we as individuals are best suited for. Probably a general nexus to funnel people into more specifics offshoots. Just throwing spaghetti on the wall here. Dividing stuff between online and real life is probably necessary too.

    Also, I know the site recently being down was some minor error and not a DDoS like some people like me were scared it was, but I think related to the aforementioned I hope discussions somewhere are being had about the high likelihood that we are already being passively monitored by fed bots (at the very least) and that, should we succeed in our aims, we will incur not just their wrath but attacks from anybody anticommunist with computer skills and time to spare.

      Yeah it was great that we had Lemmy as a back up, but if Lemmy gets taken down then what? I do think a community for organizing a “Lemmy Party” (like Lemmy’s own international communist party) would be good to practice our skills as political leaders and see what progress our best can do.

        Seconded on both.

        I will say I hope that Lemmy could just be made impervious as opposed to needing an infinite stream of increasingly irrelevant backups but I’m the farthest thing from computer literate so that will have to be figured out by the brains holding this whole thing together.

    This may be just me but maybe a TTRPG community? Would be cool to play with some fellow ML’s. I recommend “Comrades” by W.M. Akers, where you play as everyday people trying to overthrow the government.

      That sounds really fun, now I am wondering if I should make a call out for other comrades to host communities since my hands are full rn.

          Sure if you want to, just market it on club hub
