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.

    I have visited Russian-speaking families in Donbas

    doubt Donbas has been a warzone for the last 10 years, you visited a warzone, as what, a tourist? Also what part of Donbas did you visit; the Ukrainian occupied side where 15,000 civilians died since 2014 or the Separatist Republican side where pro-Russian sentiment is open and widely expressed?

    You know you could've been more believable if you just said you visited Ukraine and saw plenty of people being openly Russian or some nonsense, but you had to say Donbas huh lmao
