So what we expected finally happened.
Reddit quarantined (and might soon ban) the most active communist subreddit, and one of the very few non-western-supremacist ones left.
We’ve gotten dozens of new applications, and are approving them as quickly as we can.
Here are a few Lemmy mobile apps for Android and iOS, if you prefer using those over the web app.
If you have any questions, or if there’s anything we can help with, new ideas or communities, or anything that can make the transition away from stormfront easier, let us on the mod team know.
Reddit, Silicon valley, surveillance capitalism, bourgeois media, down with them!
Hello, friends! Times are uncertain and in flux but I look forward to this journey with all of you.
As one of the older GenZedong users (I honestly thought it meant “General” Zedong like some kind of militant movement, sorry for crashing your kiddie table) I remember when we all had to gather on niche forums or Usenet or gasp! email discussion lists. Modern social media is convenient, having everything in one place, but that also makes us very vulnerable when those who own the commons decide to crack down.
The corporate coup d’etat is complete and no longer even hidden. It will take some effort, but we can still be together in comradeship and good intention. Let us look at it as opportunity, rather than setback.
This. The fact that we had been able to stay on a fed-controlled centralized platform for so long is a miracle, but what this shows now is that we’ve become relevant enough to be dangerous.
Yep, we can’t forget that principled communists will always be at the forefront of science and tech fields. Reddit and silicon valley might be a profit-making machine for now, but they can’t beat us in the long run… history and humanity are on our side.
Communism will win!
