There are a bunch of sicko neoliberals and insufferable redditors there, yes, but there are also some normal libs and a few comrades, and it seems like a good way to encourage lemmy generally to re-embrace leftism.
I’ve been using an alt to talk on there and it’s honestly not that bad. It’s a little bad, but not that bad. I think if we just try to patiently explain ourselves, we have a reasonable chance of reaching people and shifting the general political alignment.
Those of us who aren’t up to dealing with ghouls (I am frequently included in this group) can just stay at home here and that’s just fine.
Anyway, just an idea. I would appreciate feedback.
I thought they banned people for being “tjankies” and if they’re not being pro-ukraine, pro-taiwan province or even pro-zionist?
I’m personally on an .ml account and directly accused a .world admin of doing apologia for Nazi collaborators and I’m not banned as far as I can tell. I think it depends on pissing of specific mods or something.
I would encourage people to pick and choose their battles, though.
