Hello everyone,

the recent behavior of Reddit as a company has finally prompted me to give up the platform. While looking for alternatives, I saw the problems of leftist communities on Reddit reflected in those as well. Since you are here I don’t have to talk about the r/GenZedong crowd gathering in lemmygrad. Other communities on Lemmy have not really fit my taste in terms of actual socialist orientation either. I know that there is Hexbear.net and that it is a bit better in that regard. But it still seems to tolerate such reactionaries and is not federated with the rest of lemmy.

As such, I wanted to try setting up an alternative batch of communities created in the same spirit (including this one):

c/Socialism

For discussion between socialists

c/Socialism101

For the discussion and explanation of socialist principles

c/Communism101

For the discussion and explanation of communist principles

c/Lefty Memes

For sharing leftist Memes between leftists

c/Commie Memes

For sharing communist Memes between communists

c/Anarchism vs. Marxism

For the constructive and good-faith discussion of the merits, differences and similarities between Anarchism and Marxism

Please feel free to discuss suggestions and your general opinion/attitude on this below.
