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.

    Sure, we’re not really organized in that way though. I’m just here for fun.

    I sorta think it’s easier to reach people in person cause there’s an existing relationship with some level of trust, but people can do both.

      That’s fair, I just had the idea because of a post about .world getting me to finally participate in one of their threads
