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.

    That’s not true. I joined .world first because I didn’t know about hexbear and didn’t know how the fediverse worked

      You’d still be an outlier in that case, not representative of some positive general trend when it comes to a shithole like .world

      There’s been comrades who’ve found us thru 4chan, doesn’t mean we should engage with 4chan
