There are a bunch of sicko neoliberals and insufferable redditors there, yes, but there are also some normal libs and a few comrades, and it seems like a good way to encourage lemmy generally to re-embrace leftism.

I've been using an alt to talk on there and it's honestly not that bad. It's a little bad, but not that bad. I think if we just try to patiently explain ourselves, we have a reasonable chance of reaching people and shifting the general political alignment.

Those of us who aren't up to dealing with ghouls (I am frequently included in this group) can just stay at home here and that's just fine.

Anyway, just an idea. I would appreciate feedback.

And I'll admit I used to be one of those people, until I gave it a shot and came across TikToks with 1 million plus likes with tens of thousands of comments about anti-imperialism, anti-capitalism, anti-racism....it was like finding the internet of a parallel universe where western leftism was actually a thing, I couldn't believe it

How do you find this on TikTok? Genuinely find the app impossible to navigate

Just search whatever you want. Treat the search like any other search engine. Engage with content you want to see. Like it, favorite it, repost it, comment, etc. Follow people who post content you like. The algorithm is pretty solid at feeding you what you want to see after that.

Start with Madeline Pendleton. She’s been eating shit from libs for talking about the DPRK for a while now. She’s also a coop worker and has a whole series breaking down the effects of capitalism on modern clothing production.
