The corporations are going to move to remove all left-wing content, it's best we begin changing strategy. Popular social medias need to be a secondary relation, not a primary.
Share everywhere, let’s begin building a new way to use the internet
Fantastic article! I already agree with federated, explicitly leftist spaces as our base, but one thing I see under-mentioned is the necessity of engaging with reactionary-controlled spaces to agitate and bring people over to our spaces. We need to be on Reddit to bring people to Lemmy. We need to be on Lemmy.ml to bring people from Lemmy.world and the like to places like Lemmygrad.ml and Hexbear.net. We need to be on Twitter to bring people to Mastadon.
One thing I really think is helpful is agitating not just on Reddit, for example, but on Lemmy.ml in areas where radicalized liberals can see it. It’s why I host my intro ML reading list there, and do all of my agitation there. I have recieved DMs from users thanking me for continuously pushing the ML perspective and helping change their minds, so I know it works.
At the same time, the areas we control, such as Lemmygrad.ml, need to be developed spaces that are easy to transition people to. Introductory reading guides, helpful FAQs, and more are already great exampled we do. We need to continue fostering our communities here so that we have spaces to bring people.
I fully agree and I’d love your involvement with the work we’re doing in this. I don’t know if you saw the Redline Media invite link at the bottom of the piece but that is where we’re working from temporarily until we move to self-hosted servers. We need as many people involved in this project as much as possible.
I’ll have to think about it! I’m extremely busy lately, and have recently begun org work IRL on top of that, so my hands are pretty full at the moment, but I’ll keep it in mind!
Trust me I fully understand. Between my content, work, Red Rifle Collective, and the think tank - I have no free time, and honestly I am happy since political work is my love. I hope you can in the future, we’d love the extra hands with this project.

All in all, excellent article, well done comrade!
Very true, those with the patience and tolerance for Reddit absolutely have a duty to guide comrades here.
Yea, been thinking about doing it recently.
