Interesting that we where suposed to "send a delegation" normaly that requires notice, and I do not remember any notice being given, aswell as you could just talk to the admins. This feels super self important, when from what I saw it was a few people saying mostly incorrect things... someone from hex pointing out that the ring leader was a nazi sympithiser, and then a few going over to defend themselves.
I am sure if you asked jlailu they would say they are being nutral, we are outside of the status quo and farther from it than nazis, so as they keep putting it they see us as "Dangerous extremests" I do not think we are but that is the preseption that is going to get sturred up, agian communism is either aganst there intrests or the intrests EVERYONE is telling them they totaly have, so agian we are scary.
Lemmy already allows user choice to defederate or not, and it does not need to be instance wide, that is not good enough because some of our ideas can get to some people, it needs to be everyone who cannot see it
Look we cannot get to the point where libs are a thing of the past and disliked if we do not put the groundwork in to educate and convence people now, we have to put that effort in, and I get it it is not always fun, nor is it easy, it is both easier and more fun to ignore them or yell at them but that does nothing for movement building. By walling them off, not only does it make our interactions with them harder and more limited, it also will prevent the curious, the ones who are thinking about it from coming over here and checking it out.
It is very neglegent to cut someone off from learning or even interaction because they are currently a liberal, because they are the ones we need to bring over to this side. they are the ones we need to teach, and you cannot teach when you only hold contempt and no sympethy. That attitude is only going to keep us from ever liberating the working class
