feels to me like there should be kind of outreach and way to connect these communities, i know here is more 'left unity' and shitposty than gzd but still the overlap between the 2 seems too large for it to be worth having 2 separate tiny communities instead of combining them into one bigger one.
i see a ton of stuff that's literally just reposted on both anyway, and neither here or lemmygrad is anywhere close to the size that r/gzd or /r/cth was on reddit. feels like they should be interconnected somehow or one should absorb the other. the online non-corporate social media 'leftist' community is far too small to be split up this much.
i personally vote for hexbear because i like the bear.
federation sounds sweet, imagine we become one big leftist social media comm. We could shit post and not do praxis by the hundreds of thousands, like the good old days.
IIRC there's something being worked on with the site back end. It'll take some time though.
The left needs to build it's own alt-tech and organize online much like the right.
People's Liberation Shitposters when?
I think we should split away from web 2 and make our own version of web 3.0 based on something like IPFS but without the crypto bullshit. People hosting and sharing content collaboratively with no money involved.
I'd recommend just using Freenet since anything on the WWW is endlessly surveilled and will eventually be censored.
let a thousand lemmies bloom. i want there to be so many federating left forums that we can do cross-site leftist infighting
Exactly this is mainly just because I don't want to have to go on 2 different websites.
Here me out, just learn another language and get off English forums
I think the problem right now is the divergence in the hexbear codebase. Initially, federation with these sites were the goal.
They would need autonomy of some kind to accept coming to this platform, they have repeatedly expressed concern about the moderation here
Example: they would need a com where they can shitpost, be sectarian and be rowdy because that is the culture of GZD. This sub cares much more about policing tone and avoiding sectarianism, GZD is more similar to the original CTH sub where rude arguments are allowed and encouraged
boohoo I can't be a dick to people I have minor disagreements with!
Man grow up.
Ok you don’t want GZD here then. They like to shitpost and have struggle sessions and be rowdy. Sounds like you don’t want them here if this is your response so what’s the point of trying to onboard people you will hate?
This is why GZD posters will not come here or will leave shortly after they get banned for posting a pig poop balls to a mod
This is why they have problems with the moderation here, this exact attitude
The attitude of don't be a dick? You might be in the wrong place bud.
You are the one being a dick right now, I merely suggested creating an autonomous region where they can be themselves and you come right out swinging with invective
Do you want to have GZD here or not? Because what you are showing me with your attitude is no.
when this community I started I believe this was the plan - unsure of where we are at with that now
This pinned post on /c/feedback last month seems to be where we're at.
I prefer multiples. All the eggs in one basket thing. More site means if one goes down we still have the others. And if stuff gets cross posted so be it.
