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.

    it’s good to try to patiently explain one’s position

    It sucks that the liberals don’t have to do that and can just say “but did you consider human naturesmuglord or some other lazy shit. I’m not saying we shouldn’t make our case; it’s that under capitalism, the default position is the one the laziest assholes get to opt for because it already benefits them.
