My feed is mostly Star Trek and knitting, tbh.

Same thing happened on Mastodon after Twitter migration. People are talking about reddit because that’s the big news right now. Give it time. There will be more content.

Not ime. There’s lots of reddit discussion now cause it’s pertinent info right now. I’ve found plenty of good stuff besides the communist content. Like normal reddity, not meta, posts.

Lemmy is not any one type of place. It’s whatever we make it. There just happens to be a thriving community of communists here. We’re in the early stages and we’re finding our way.

I find myself thinking, throughout my day, OH I can post this! Where I wouldn’t normally do that.

Next week will be the last time the third party apps to be available to the reddit users. So expect to have more reddit angst next week.

People are going through several stages of grief at the moment. This was all so sudden and feels so unnecessary, it didn’t have to happen and it didn’t have to happen this way. This ended up being toxic on top of toxic.

Beehaw added !socialism@beehaw.org if you want to talk about leftist topics, but the rules there are that you have to be nice to everybody. It is basically the opposite of the tenor of r/socialism, so take that under advisement.

I say this as a passive observer who has no skin in the game one way or another, I’m not a socialist.
