What? No one on Hexbear is on it because we think we're going to "effect real change" on here lol
Maybe you forget how isolated lemmy is in general. Even if we wanted to do that it's not even possible. This is just our comfortable space in an ocean of online liberalism. We're happy to discuss politics with people in good faith and it's great if we can help educate people but pretty much everything important happens in real life, offline. So don't act surprised when you're met with mockery because you've accused us of betraying communism for not letting the bigots, transphobes, reactionaries, and libs talk down to us and insult us on the Internet in some naive attempt to "convert" them.
Also, we get along fine with most of the fediverse! I'm glad we're still connected to lemmy.ml, lemm.ee, sdf, etc even though there can be a few bad actors. I'm not sure federating with your instance was a good idea though...
Fair enough. I think you're delusional if you believe that your users are accomplishing anything important in real life, due to their terminally online status and lack of social graces, but sure.
It's amazing to me that you don't recognize that the internet has become the most powerful tool for social control in human history, and any attempt to counter the prevailing narrative will inevitably have to incorporate a digital component in order to succeed. But sure, Lemmy is just where you take out your frustrations on the libs after a hard day's work ineffectively unionizing and canvassing for irrelevant leftist politicians. Good luck with that, you're really making a difference 👏
Sure, the revolution will have a "digital component" but I don't really see the point in being conciliatory to smug closed-minded assholes on one of the most niche social media platforms on the internet. It's obvious you don't know anything about Marxism or about how social change is made so you can keep your advice to yourself. We try to keep details about our efforts in the real world vague because we don't want to be doxxed.
Good luck with that, you're really making a difference 👏
Yes, I'm sure letting people call us slurs, red fascists, pretending-to-be-LGBT-people, and Chinese/Russian bots on lemmy (the most important social platform, the social platform of the revolution) without any pushback will exert enough social control on them to make them do communism. Our posts will make Marx proud!
