An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the “ML” influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.

MODERATORS
Hot take: They/them should be a drop-in replacement for other pronouns, and should be the default unless you need to know otherwise (and you generally don’t need to know how your tax attorney or taxi driver, Sam from Accounting or a bystander interviewed on the TV news sexually identifies).
That is how most people I spend my time with do it.
It is however more difficult in languages where there is no simple set of gender neutral pronouns to use.
US citizens: If it wears a uniform and confronts you, your life is on the line. They will kill you in any case. Act as you will.
