"Henlo leftists of Reddit, Lemmy is operational! It’s built by u/parentis_shotgun and serves as a better and more inviting space to the online leftist sphere. Reddit’s moderation has decided to silence leftist voices, take away our communities, and force us to associate with neo-liberals. Lemmy provides us with a place where we need not worry about being quarantined, where we don’t have to tiptoe around fascists and neo-liberals. Lemmy is built for communists, by communists. No pigs, fash, liberals, or anti-communists allowed!
Lemmy is our best chance at keeping the online leftist community alive, but that’s only possible if Lemmy gains its own community. So please, come on down and sign up! https://lemmygrad.ml"
It needs to be made less Reddit-centric, a little more open to a slightly broader range of leftist ideologies, and generally be better.
Using suggestions, this is what I’ve got:
"There is a spectre haunting over Reddit, the spectre of anti-left bans. Lemmy is an alternate to Reddit and other link aggregator sites designed with leftism in mind, serving as a better and more inviting space for the online leftist sphere. Reddit’s moderation has decided to silence leftist voices, take away our communities, and force us to associate with Liberalism. Lemmy provides us with a place where we need not temper our rhetoric, or “self-censor” to keep our communities. We maintain an anti-sectarian and inclusive outlook, rare for Reddit alternatives, as well we keep our moderation as transparent as it can be. And unlike other politically minded social media, Lemmy will soon be federated (think email), meaning you’ll be able to follow communities elsewhere, and post to them from a single front page. Aswell, Lemmy is free and open-source software; as Communists we’re opposed to privatized software developed for a profit, and feel that all software should be developed publicly for human needs. As such Lemmy will never have ads, or sell user data in any way.
Please feel free to sign up today, the only way the left is going to get a stable external site for organizing and sharing our views is if Lemmy becomes popular, and Lemmy only becomes popular with membership.
How the hell do you open with such a passionless statement?
Boooo.
Instead, pour some of your revolutionary zest and zeal into the word.
A spectre is haunting Reddit – the spectre of communist sub bans. All the powers of Reddit have entered into a holy alliance to exercise these bans. Spez and Pao, /r/politics and /r/worldnews, Biden-liberals and reactionary fascists.
Where is the in opposition that has not been decried as communistic by its opponents in power? Where is the opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of communism, against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries?
Two things result from this fact:
I. Communism is already acknowledged by all Redditors powers to be itself a power.
II. It is high time that Communists should openly, in the face of the whole world, publish their views online, their aims, their tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of the Spectre of Communism with a manifesto of the party itself.
To this end, Communists of various nationalities have assembled in lemmygrad.ml and sketched the following web address: https://lemmygrad.ml/
