Can vouch for this. I learned a thing or two from people who had the patience to explain. Including some ML people. @Cowbee@lemmy.ml for example has nerves of steel. Permanent snark isn't useful but it's understandable, especially coming from people who are being actively harmed. Repeating the same things over and over without frustration isn't something everyone can do.

Are you aware that when they use the term liberalism, they likely mean economic liberalism?
And the harm reduction comes in the form of removing parts of the economy from capitalist control, which is ... anti-capitalist.
Mainstream leftist parties aren't necessarily leftist, especially economically leftist. E.g. the Democratic party in the US.
Our overton window is only a few degrees to the left of the US.
Also the Ontario Liberals conducted a UBI pilot in Hamilton during the 2010s with the goal of proposing some form of it as a policy if results were positive. The OLP lost to the PCs in 2018 and Ford canned the project.
Then there's been the UBI experiment in Manitoba during the 70s.
Make a nice poster that encourages people to not just lurk, or dig one up if there's an old post. Post it weekly in !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world
100%! Been doing it for a year.
Also, I find a nice way to fill my feed is to liberally subscribe to communities on Lemmy. I'm currently subscribed to 133. I set my feed to Subscribed+Scaled and that works incredibly well to show me what I care about. Then when I get bored, I flip to All+TopDay to get what I missed that day.
If they can deliver. But hey, we're the VCs now. Not everything succeeds.
I thought they're removing posts with links.
Are eggs gonna get cheaper now?
Also: what the actual fuck.
Yes. I don't remember which instance did this but I remember I encountered it some time ago.
