I used RiF to keep an eye on what is happening around us. My wife is still on Reddit. I was born and raised in the deep south. In 2020, we realized it was time to leave and came up with a plan. We basically lost my extended family and most of our friends.

This is a safety issue for us. These people are dangerous. I need to be able to keep my finger on the pulse of what they’re doing and saying.

We’ll be moving summer of '24 and have been saving.

Are there any communities similar to /r/qanoncasulties, /r/qult_headquarters, /r/parler_watch?

I’m not great at Lemmy yet, and have tried searching but haven’t found anything. My apologies if this breaks a politics rule, I’m not trying to debate or anything. Again, this is about the safety of my family.

            Sure, you’re welcome to add me but I have no idea what I’m doing on lemmy and all my apps are going a bit haywire. If you have any tips or suggestions on how to access mod tools, that would help.

              Eh, I have no idea either. It was weird even figuring out how to add mods in the first place (I think it needs a FAQ). I think it’s just one of those things that you figure it out as you go.

        Awesome! I don’t want to mod but will if I need to.

        As I said, I’m mostly a lurker. However, given how small Lemmy still is, I’ll make sure I contribute to help growth.

      If I have to, I’ll figure out how to make a community and mod the thing until someone better comes along to mod it. I’m very much a lurker and rarely post.

      I’m hoping that there’s already something out there.

            Honestly? I’d avoid the meme names. Meal Team 6, Y’allquadea, Gravy Seals, Infowarriors, Chair Force.

            That shit was funnier in 2017 when it wasn’t quite as dangerous. I don’t have a creative suggestion, unfortunately. But I suppose that’s my advice.

        The other question is that if you want it only q adjacent or all right wing / cryptofascist.

          I want to watch all the groups that have been threatening my people. I could give a shit less what their particular views are at this point. They have heads full of rot and words full of poison.
