Are there any communities tracking qanon/fascist/magat terrorism, threats, and laws? (lemmy.world)

I used RiF to keep an eye on what is happening around us. My wife is still on Reddit. I was born and raised in the deep south. In 2020, we realized it was time to leave and came up with a plan. We basically lost my extended family and most of our friends.

This is a safety issue for us. These people are dangerous. I need to be able to keep my finger on the pulse of what they're doing and saying.

We'll be moving summer of '24 and have been saving.

Are there any communities similar to /r/qanoncasulties, /r/qult_headquarters, /r/parler_watch?

I'm not great at Lemmy yet, and have tried searching but haven't found anything. My apologies if this breaks a politics rule, I'm not trying to debate or anything. Again, this is about the safety of my family.

I was also a follower of those subs so I'm hoping that other will chime in with their Lemmy equivalents.

If I have to, I'll figure out how to make a community and mod the thing until someone better comes along to mod it. I'm very much a lurker and rarely post.

I'm hoping that there's already something out there.

Do it...

I'll subscribe.

What to call it? I have been wanting the same thing.

[-] Ohthereyouare@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Honestly? I'd avoid the meme names. Meal Team 6, Y'allquadea, Gravy Seals, Infowarriors, Chair Force.

That shit was funnier in 2017 when it wasn't quite as dangerous. I don't have a creative suggestion, unfortunately. But I suppose that's my advice.

MAGAt Watch, Fascist Watch?

[-] nonfatmatt@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

The only issue is all of these things change over time. Rightwatch? Watchtheright?

[-] Machinist@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

WatchtheRight works for me, I'm also partial to FascistWatch as that pretty well describes the whole range.

We can let it percolate a bit. I won't be setting anything up until tomorrow anyhow.

I went ahead and registered https://lemmy.world/c/watchtheright - the only issue I have is that putting fascism in the name might turn off people who are just looking for information.
