Though I very much understand the sentiment, I would disagree with the reluctance to participate in bourgeois democracy. This is because there are significant short term consequences for the lives of marginalized groups (take for example, trans people in the United States). Therefore, until revolution is a reality, advocating for harm reduction is sensible.

I understand. tilde.zone looks to be into linux, which I’m definitely into as well, so I’ll probably try it out. I’m not even looking of for a super political instance, just not posts celebrating gay women who are drone pilots (or something else who knows, and yes that’s an actual post I saw).

Thank you. I appreciate your input.

Any instances you’d recommend that are leftest? I initially joined a mastodon instance (then tried using lemmy, it was confusing, but consistent with your description of how they interact), but there was enough neoliberalism that it might have just as well been @wasnt_obama.great.

Thanks for the information. Part of me thinks that an app and/or interface that could include multiple formats would be great, but I’m under no illusion that that’s not a monumental ask. Wouls you advise just making multiple accounts for multiple instance types?
