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

Why aren't the left more active on alternative platforms? (fedia.io)

Odysee, bitchute, peertube, and others are overrun with right wing media and there's nearly no left-wing stuff on them. Where are all the lefties?

I gotta chime in with @cabbage@piefed.social . Part of the problem is people wanting things to be handed to them. Without breaking them from that there is no helping or changing their minds. AI is a double edged sword which stands to harm as much or more than help. Plus you gotta remember. It's ultimately the fascists platform. And the house always wins.

Honestly I'm not sure what the messaging should look like. But perhaps it should be a list of reputable and professional podcasts and streamers. Something other than Hasan/vaush/destiny etc and certianly not Cenk and TYT any more. The former would turn off a lot of older viewers and the latter..... well they've largely lost all trust and reputability AFAIK. And it's such a moving target with whatever the feed and the oligarchs choose to villanize this week.
