While there are plenty of spaces for debate, news commentary, “political internet culture”, memes, and so on, I still haven’t found a single community dedicated to any form of collective action, either IRL or in digital spaces. There are some communities dedicated to unions, but it seems mostly news commentary and very little action, educational material, events, or projects to plug yourself into.
I understand that the core user base of lemmy might not be the most prone to collective action, but I’m still surprised there’s nothing even on the most political communities.
Any suggestion?
Why would you go to Lemmy for that? I’m politically active in several local organisations and if I have anything to discuss about that I discuss it with them, not with random people on social media. This is just not the platform for that.
I think you’re right but I just keep chuckling at the irony behind your username and then your comment haha
Which part is ironic?
“This is not the platform to discuss organizing,” [email protected] said.
Obviously there is more to their comment, and they are totally right. But it’s ironic because it subverts your expectation of what a user called [email protected] would say
I think it’s perfectly in line, Communists more than anyone know that “organizing” on Lemmy isn’t practical in any way, discussing theory and the news sure, but not organizing.
Alright, sure… we’ll just move past it then lol
