I do appreciate that discourse is more viable on Lemmy than the corporate alternatives, I only see that as getting more important as corporations like Meta and Google crack down on fact checking and anti-fascist discussions.

I have my criticisms of the moderation on both the .ml and .world side of things, but at least the fediverse is flexible and fluid with the different instances. A lot of topics concerning imperialism, colonialism, capitalism, and socialism have nuances that are important to cut through (all) government and corporate disinformation. But even here a lot of that nuance is overlooked in the larger or team-sporty communities.

Hopefully educational discussions will continue to gain prominence on here and brigading/group-think will be frowned upon and discouraged. This kind of FOSS social media is a great opportunity to grow global solidarity and class consciousness. Which is become ever more critical as global capitalism lashes out with fascism against (at first) the most vulnerable
