Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

Thanks for the response. I have noticed that many of the comrades in my local org do not engage online and with their limited time they prefer to do material action which they can be certain of.
Could I ask, as there are a number of comrades online who do not have the access to a local org, and who manifest the lack of organization, discipline, etc. would a more formally declared subset of users fill in this role until perhaps access to a local org comes along? I'm honestly thinking like, Mao saw the peasantry as a useful force in his environment when trying to bring about socialist change, are the unorganized members of the community (both this and at large) not in a similar position?
It very much seems to me that the online environment is completely dictated by capitalists and their preference for a type of engagement which relies on hedonistic tendencies to counteract any potential revolutionary force. I am not advocating for a lack of pleasure as it is completely necessary, rather a space where it can be taken back for different aims as is evidenced by lemmy and the fediverse at large. It really seems that as someone in the imperial core there is a specific advantage in engaging online which does not make sense in other environments as a physical presence would be more apt. Maybe a lemmygrad strike force? Putting fear in the hearts of liberals everywhere.
