niche community will work?

I’m interested in your ideas and strategies.

additionally not quite related to the topic.

Unfortunately, I didn’t manage to register on BlueSky, or rather, I managed to, but my account was blocked for suspicious activity a second after registration. Idk why.

    The strong presence of communists is very normal, actually, though I don’t know what you mean by “American-coded.” Lemmy was created and is developed by communists, and communists in general are atttracted to FOSS tools and platforms.

      Well there’s a focus on American events, American billionaires, and the distinctly American flavour of extreme policing

        Depends on the instance. A lot of instances let themselves be overrun by US reddit reposters, filling every community, and they moderate none of it.

        At least on lemmy.ml we try to keep US contest quarantined to US-specific communities.

        The US Empire, in Marxist analysis, is the international dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, supported by its vassals like Canada, Australia, western Europe, Japan, the ROK, etc. As the US Empire decays, world imperialism weakens, and the ability for socialism to rise gains.

        I see lots of non-Statesian content too, mostly from the communists. Lemmy.world tends to be Statesian centric, but is far from communist.
