I remember being really disappointed that the mods there refused to leave reddit during the protests last June. Today I happened to check reddit and I see the engagement appears to have plummeted.
So it seems the peeps decided to vote with their feet, which is great! However I know there hasn’t been a lot of influx in alternative places like this community, [email protected] or even raddle.me.
So where have all the online anarchists gone? What do you think :D
lol, yeah, I was going to say… 😂
And I definitely relate, I don’t feel like many of my personal thoughts are worth a standalone post, and even if they were (and also when I post things other people have written) I don’t want to be arguing with bootlickers, but rather have constructive conversations with people already on the same page, which can’t really happen without an established community, so it’s a bit of a catch 22…
Maybe I’ll start sharing posts about some of the essays and books I read, just to start more discussion. I’m sure my admin will let me know if it’s too unhinged 😸
I say go for it, as someone who no longer has the brain power to read books I’d appreciate knowing what’s out there without having to read it all myself lol
More importantly - hopefully it lures out the lurking anarchists, and that way a community can grow…
