r/place is by its mechanisms an incentivization of terminally online behaviour. To really get shit done an entire community must be glued to one app every five minutes.

So I ask, with the growing communist movement, how are we being beaten out on r/place? It’s a mixture of heavy red scare tactics, timing (r/place starts back up after removing its largest ML community? Sussy), and the communist movement’s roots in REALITY.

As much as it would be cool to get some ML shit into digital history with this iteration of r/place, our lack of representation is not a negative, but a positive, showing that a majority of our actors are NOT terminally online.

Of course anarchists, radlibs, and fascists, have the strongest grip on r/place, they don’t have a life. As the western ML movement grows, so does the ultra left and reactionary right, but our ratio of activist to armchair revolutionary (at least in this sample size) is very promising.

So, in essence, fuck r/place, our lack of representation is for the better, as we can get a grip on the REAL WORLD better as these chuds place pixels into swastikas.

    It’s literally making me want to delete Reddit forever. First GenZedong was struck down, then the fuckin r/place made it intolerable due to the liberal brainrot, lemmygrad is the only thing I’m using now. Ever since GenZedong fell, every leftist sub has been bombarded by liberal dipshits that try to argue about Ukraine and they ignore what happened in Donbass everytime

      what lemmy feeds do you reccomend. I’m only subbed to GenZedong and I can burn through the new posts for the day in like 10min as it looks like everybody is still on Reddit.

        I’d recommend to select “All”, or “Local” (rather than “Subscribed”) and sort by “New”. When you see an interesting community, subscribe to it.

        Otherwise, there’s a list of communities, you can browse it and subscribe to everything that interests you: https://lemmygrad.ml/communities

        It may be true that by amount of posts, this place is less active than Reddit. But maybe that’s not a bad thing, you get more time to focus on more important things than the online…
