The lemmy has been a hotbed of infighting and sectarianism for the last few month. We need to take responsibility for our own house, because if we don’t, we’ll keep on losing and failing in movements.

    Perhaps we should first of all critically assess what we agree upon instead of skipping this incremental step for the sake of pointing out our disagreements. Because maybe that’s what’s causing this unsolvable divide is the a priori stuff that we have thoughtlessly agreed upon.

    Ok question, what does everyone agree upon in the leftist servers?

    I don’t experience any infighting. I generally just use local which just shows posts from the cool kids. Everyone is generally very respectful towards each other.

    Now if a non ML wants to come on and be disrespectful I think they deserve to be eaten like a cow in a pool of piranhas.

    Come up with some set rules that the community is well-informed of, set lines, and what happens when they are crossed is guaranteed. Crack down if you gotta, I do like the temp ban touch grass idea rather than eating permanent bans and having to reroll accounts. I hate to say it but the community isn’t yet at the point it can self-police, makes me think of the meme of Grounds Keeper Willie and Principal Skinner.

    People look at HB as a good case, it’s not a utopia, its what Lemmy could be quite easily, but they still have struggle sessions (not like they used to) and waves of wreckers come through like its the ocean so often.

    You could start by practicing what you preach, I guess?

    Judging from your engagement with us, it seems more like you’re stirring the pot than making an earnest attempt to do anything positive.

    In the first place, I don’t actually see much in the ways of infighting here. Where is all this terrible sectarianism you talk about? The only things you’ve posted are assertions with reference to basically nothing.
