Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!
Rules:
- Absolutely no fascism, right wing extremism, genocide denial, etc.
- Unconditional support of authoritarians will not be tolerated
- Good faith discussion about ideologies is encouraged, but no sectarianism
- No brocialism/sexism
- No ableism
- No TERFs/ anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric
- No racism
- No trolling
- No insults, dunking, or personal attacks
- No posting of misinformation, disinformation, or fake news
- Mods have final say
Posting Expectations:
- Comics/memes/shitposts/propaganda are only allowed on weekends
- Try to avoid liberalism unless discussing electoral politics. Even then, try to focus on tactical agreement towards leftist goals
- Only one meta post seeking consensus per person per day
- Posts about a particular ideology are ok, but remember the rules above
- Remember that there is no “right way” to implement leftist theory. This rule does not prevent academic criticism.
- Try to avoid extremely sensitive topics unless approaching them with appropriate care for intersectionality. Use your best judgement, and be prepared to provide respectable sources when having these discussions. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source in these cases.
- Post titles must be meaningful and relevant, except on weekends

MODERATORS
Thanks for the welcome! People need to critically understand the implications here instead of blindly excusing it because of status quo.
Not discussing Reddit makes sense except when it comes to protecting others. I feel this is an important issue for the community to be aware of, because it is similar to the r/Conservative subreddit that eventually got shut down due to cultivating toxic rhetoric.
This “Don’t be you” rule allows the community to be a breeding ground for intolerance and hate towards vulnerable communities, and Reddit is not only allowing it, but supporting it through bans.
Oh, we understand plenty. The insanity of mods regarding the lack of transparency or consistency of upholding rules is why we branched out. The bots and API bullshit are we don’t go back.
Avoiding being a circlejerk of complaining about Reddit is why we mostly avoid the topic.
I guess I’m confused because there’s a lot of circlejerking about conservatives and their ideaologoes in this community, and this “Don’t be you” rule falls in line with the exact same anti-LGBTQ2A+ rhetoric that conservatives follow.
Bringing attention to a community that promotes and protects intolerance seems like something this community would be interested in, but I can understand if you just want to move on like a bad breakup.
Here at lemmy.world?
As far as I know, the fediverse, in general, is mostly center/slightly left, not counting things like the socialist, commie, or tankie instances.
Also, some of the big ones are fairly USA centered and it’s a general election year. So, everyone is fighting about it. But the fact that it's a fight means there is more than one opinion.
If you're complaining about Reddit, idk what to tell you. I haven’t been there in ages.
I was referring to this Leftist sub specifically being interested in trying to shut down an intolerant, toxic, conservative leaning community. Maybe this is better suited for a social justice community, but I haven’t found one. Do you know any?
I must have missed that. Most just talk about ignoring or defederating.
I haven’t looked for any social justice centered instances. I’m mostly here to find memes and I won’t go to toxic sites like iFunny or Reddit to get them anymore.
Haha for sure. Happy meme hunting! What’s ur fav meme community/instance?
It’s really sporadic here.
The Star Trek ones are the only consistent output.
Haha I’ll keep an eye out for some good memes
Sounds like it makes the bad people stay and circlejerk on reddit and the good people come here *shrugs*
Luckily I found my way to Lemmy, so thanks haha
let that shithole slowly empty out and die.
only a matter of time, try to enjoy the shitshow without getting too hung up with what it currently is while it thrashes.
i know its kinda sad, but its not what it was back then anymore.
Yeah I’m excited to finally find a decent alternative. I just worry about that community being a breeding grounds for intolerance and red pill incels.
