We’ve approved I don’t know how many new comrades here since the announcement that Reddit will kill its API access.
If you don’t know where to start posting on lemmygrad, this is a good thread to start in! You can also ask questions you have about federation or our instance.
Welcome!
The current lore is:
We are all feds on lemmygrad, but you get to choose your agency.
Lemmy is gonna get overrun with libs when it happens.
Lemmy is already overrun by libs. If not for Yogthos it would be mainly techbro posts.
Hello comrades!
I’ve actually been lurking here since the GZD quarantine, but thought I’d take this opportunity to finally create an account. Never really been much of a commenter, but I want to participate in the discourse to become a better Marxist. I read a lot but often have a hard time articulating myself in a conversation so want to improve that.
Looking forward to interacting with you all on here!
Happy to have you join! Even though it’s not your forte like you said, I hope you feel included and have fun interacting!
Hello, I’ve been here for a little bit but anyways, I gained a small following by China- and DPRK-posting on Tiktok, I keep getting banned there so I’m focusing more on Substack and Youtube. I mostly break down western propaganda about AES countries. Hopefully people here enjoy my content, I’m trying not to spam or anything.
You keep getting banned on TikTok? Why exactly?
Brigades by anti-communists. Mostly, and specifically, PraxBen’s community. You can’t post anything even remotely polarizing on Tiktok. It happens to pretty much all leftist creators of any size, like Midwestern Marx or even Hasanabi.
It’s not worth the effort to try to make non-combative content, so I gave up.
Have a general resentment towards reddit > read about alternatives to reddit as a result of the API controversy > Lemmy gets brought up because it’s private and decentralized > libs in comments: “Nooo it’s full of communists!!!”(gee I wonder why) “Not hating CPC = basically fascism!! I don’t care that I can make my own instances, ‘supporting’ communists who for some weird reason keep building good software is icky” > me: sounds based
Well now lemmy is full of very aggressive libs, welcome to lemmygrad though!
Hi everyone, late to this thread. I’ve joined in order to interact more in ML spaces and hopefully sharpen my usage of theory in daily life. This place served an integral role in radicalizing me and I’m thankful for that.
I’ve first discovered Lemmygrad during the first days of the Ukraine debacle, and continued to visit it and began asking questions, then became a full ML after reading theory.
Happy to have you along with us for the ride! Lemmygrad was also very integral in breaking the last vestiges of my old liberal viewpoints and radicalizing me.
Any particular piece of theory your favorite so far?
