Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

Since red., DD Geopolitics etc. have been banned from the mainstream social media platforms after the stupidest US State Department announcement, I was thinking twice about joining Rumble. However, the biggest obstacle for joining was queerphobia.

PS: Might invite red. and DD Geopolitics to join the site.

Rumble is just that, a platform. That's how I've seen it in my experience. There are leftists there too, even if they are the minority. But this is the same on any other platform, apart from maybe Tankietube and similar. It doesn't mean that it's not worth using, if anything I think leftists should put their content anywhere they're allowed, as the whole point is to get the masses on board. Rumble's audience is already skeptical of mainstream media and other big tech platforms, so I'd say that it's more likely your stuff gets traction on there than it would on Youtube for example. The site does have the one massive issue in that it's got an established large userbase of right wingers because of how the site started off, but I think given enough time this would probably shift a bit since enough leftists start getting booted from Youtube etc. (Recent Russiagate witch-hunting is already proof of this)

This is a very good point!
