I figure shit's going to get worser whether we end up with 99% Hitler Blue or 99% Hitler Red. So, anyone have any ideas on what to do next?

If anyone can figure out how to use non-corporate social media to funnel liberal “activism” into building dual power, that’d be cool. Don’t think we’re any closer than the last time this site had this conversation 4 years ago, though.

Edit: I don’t want to be delusional and say that Lemmy is some inherently revolutionary force. But I also think that saying we’re not any closer may have been a bit too doomer. We have software developed by well-read communists and several instances which are run strictly on revolutionary principles. We’ve had several lighting in a bottle moments following Reddit bans and pseudo purges that have netted us increased membership.

Again, Lemmy is not the home of vanguard or anything like that. But we’ve had a lot of weird existing-in-the-cracks circumstances that lead to our existence and weirder things have become important in times of unrest. Who knows what connections made here will have an impact? I think it’s important to have this leftist dive bar at the end of the internet.
