      Yeah I expected that to be the case from some at least because I didn’t stay active here, it’s hard to be active in too many places at once really I wish I had more time in the day and less work. It’ll only be the comrades that were around in some of the peak reddit days that know the username. I don’t want to be an ego about it really I just think Redpen can be trusted and that it is a genuinely good idea for this space to include communists as well as the soft left. It could be a valuable entrypoint down the line if lemmy grows, and unlike the reddit equivalent it won’t be anti-communist.

      They were quite prevalent on reddit as u/lenins2ndcat, I saw people complaining about her in subredditdrama a few weeks ago and that account has been banned for years. If you’ve ever gone on hexbear that’s Awoo

        Scaring the libs so hard they still talk about you years after you get banned should be the goal of everyone here. I consider it a personal achievement. But I liked the messages I always used to receive from new comrades who felt like I was a starting point for them most.

          Maybe I’ll accomplish that here on lemmy, I never commented much on reddit, I’m sure I’ve already commented more on lemmygrad in 2 months than I ever did on Reddit lol. How often do you check this account btw? I normally see you in the posting trenches on your .world account

            Not too often. I’m on Hexbear, world, reddit, twitter and tiktok mainly. Although I can’t reveal the current reddit account because it mods too much, nor the twitter or tiktok stuff related to org efforts.

            I’d be off reddit and twitter by now entirely if it were up to me but while it still lives it’s a space we’re still treating as a “theatre of engagement”. It’s getting worse by the day though.

              I feel like the hapless masses are going to move on from twitter to threads unfortunately, are you going to try and make a presence there too?

                Threads doesn’t feel like it’s there yet, and it’s unavailable in the EU which puts it out of half the market Twitter owns. I think Bluesky has a strong chance. I will always keep up a presence on whatever is significant we can’t hide in insular communities we have to go where the people are.
