Like, I’m not asking for people to like our instance and become communists overnight or even stop calling us tankies, but these are two of the few I’ve seen that will admit they like at least certain aspects and that we aren’t soulless bots or propagandists out to eat your children or something like that. Covered their names out of respect for not being deranged like so many other people on lemmy.ml and especially .world
(Also glad someone appreciates our nazi dunking)
The Reddit exodus brought a lot of heavily propagandized idiots. They are shocked to experience not being inside the Western approved echo chamber. Give time for their brains to normalize.
It’s been months how much longer is it gonna take im tired of them man
It is thousands of them and most of us just stay in our spots, so you shouldn't be surprised that we've only flipped, what? a few dozen? so far.
I got banned from .world a couple months ago anyways lol
We gotta post outside of our instances with alt accounts or they will just defederate. It's difficult to have your worldview challenged and instinctually people will just refuse to hear it
I try to do that as often as possible, but it's draining.
They're not gonna normalize without exposure and a large contingent of Hexbears and Lemmygrad users don't post outside of their local instances. And that's on top of twitchy fingers hitting the big red "DEFEDERATE" button.
I think unless more folks start putting in effort to have constructive dialogues (or any kind of presence really) outside of the local instances the echo chambers will continue undisturbed.
