We’ve approved I don’t know how many new comrades here since the announcement that Reddit will kill its API access.
If you don’t know where to start posting on lemmygrad, this is a good thread to start in! You can also ask questions you have about federation or our instance.
Welcome!
The current lore is:
We are all feds on lemmygrad, but you get to choose your agency.
New here and checked now and was able to log in so I guess I was accepted amongst your ranks.
I am probably another reddit refugee. I really wish this whole “going dark” thing was more of a reddit internet general strike thing because 2 days isn’t gonna do shit. But if this whole 3rd party API thing never happened, I might not have learned about Lemmy and Lemmygrad. I have a Mastodon account too so I sort of get the federation thing.
I generally state that I started college as a Dem and left as a Soc. I am a paid member of my local DSA chapter(we don’t have any other leftist orgs where I am at), but haven’t been active because family life got real busy. I have been reading a ton of theory lately. I realized late last year that I wanted to re-evaluate where I stand on the left spectrum. I felt like I was ML but figured I was doing myself a disservice not reading Marx, Lenin, Stalin, etc.
Current hobbies are mechanical keyboards(dirty fucking 36 key commie), horror movies, reading, fidgeting.
Read Principles of Communism, Blackshirts and Reds, and State and Revolution if you haven’t started with theory yet.
