While there are plenty of spaces for debate, news commentary, “political internet culture”, memes, and so on, I still haven’t found a single community dedicated to any form of collective action, either IRL or in digital spaces. There are some communities dedicated to unions, but it seems mostly news commentary and very little action, educational material, events, or projects to plug yourself into.

I understand that the core user base of lemmy might not be the most prone to collective action, but I’m still surprised there’s nothing even on the most political communities.

Any suggestion?

    ? What irony? I don’t think the username of communism implies you’re… organising on Lemmy lol

      You don’t see the irony there? In your username being communism@lemmy.ml and your comment being

      I’m politically active in several local organisations and if I have anything to discuss about that I discuss it with them, not with random people on social media. This is just not the platform for that.

      It just tickles my humor. Its not a dig at you or anything. Local organization is most effective.

        No, I don’t see the irony, and I didn’t take it as a dig either. I just don’t see the two being contrary to each other. “I don’t think political discussion on social media is particularly fruitful” doesn’t mean I’m going to pretend I’m not a communist or not mention it at all online.
