I’m not sure what’s going on over there, but half the time I see a post from there or go into a comment section and it’s just…bad. Like old reddit the_donald bad. Constant trolling, etc. You TS just really bad vibes. I’ve been blocking the communities as they come up, but I’m not sure what else I can do.
seems like its home to a lot of irony poisioned predominantly white leftists but i think comparing it to t_d is a stretch.
i wonder if theres any leftist instances that are worth spending time on, theres not very many of them and it seems like the ones that are out there either have started to die out or have been widely defederated from due to toxicity.
i wish there were larger spaces focused around real world political action, organization and solidarity because there would be so much value in having that on a platform like this.
How about slrpnk.net?
i’ll have to check that out when i’m home
thanks so much for mentioning this! looks awesome, i had no idea we had a solarpunk instance tbh but im all for it
Yup, it’s my home instance and it’s a great space all around
I mean… most things I see on the FV is fairly left-leaning. It’s effectively all a “leftist space” (and I’m saying this as a non-American who’s voted as far-left as I can for the past few elections) except for that one sad cunt posting stonetoss (explicit transphobic and probably other -phobic) “memes”.
leftist space has a specific meaning that goes past the political positions of the userbase averaging out to be progressive. lemmy for the most part is somewhat left leaning, although there’s definitely an abundance of right wing and liberal users, but my point is it doesn’t have many open spaces dedicated to activism or on the ground work since the majority of communities that are left leaning are more preoccupied with out of touch online discourse than real world action
