feels to me like there should be kind of outreach and way to connect these communities, i know here is more ‘left unity’ and shitposty than gzd but still the overlap between the 2 seems too large for it to be worth having 2 separate tiny communities instead of combining them into one bigger one.

i see a ton of stuff that’s literally just reposted on both anyway, and neither here or lemmygrad is anywhere close to the size that r/gzd or /r/cth was on reddit. feels like they should be interconnected somehow or one should absorb the other. the online non-corporate social media ‘leftist’ community is far too small to be split up this much.

i personally vote for hexbear because i like the bear.

federation sounds sweet, imagine we become one big leftist social media comm. We could shit post and not do praxis by the hundreds of thousands, like the good old days.

IIRC there’s something being worked on with the site back end. It’ll take some time though.

The left needs to build it’s own alt-tech and organize online much like the right.

People’s Liberation Shitposters when?

I think we should split away from web 2 and make our own version of web 3.0 based on something like IPFS but without the crypto bullshit. People hosting and sharing content collaboratively with no money involved.

Return to usenet is another possibility.

I’d recommend just using Freenet since anything on the WWW is endlessly surveilled and will eventually be censored.

In theory, federation should facilitate this.
