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.

    You should keep in mind the few the comrades are probably just other hex,ml,grad alts and not mainly world users.

    Also their admin team like for example rooki are known reactionaries that push their view on everyone, so if you act too communist they will probably ban you, like how they purged the vegan mods

    I think a better use of your time would be to get people to switch to other instances like zip, ee or db0 who are federated with us and we would be able to reach people more effectively from our hex accounts
