Hello Comrades,

Where do you think is the best place to post educational/theory posts?

I’ve been writing some longer posts lately and posting them too !genzhou@lemmygrad.ml because the sidebar calls it, ‘GenZedong’s educational hub’. Shall I keep doing that or is there a better community? e.g.:

I was going to use !communism@lemmygrad.ml but as I’m linking to my posts in the wider Lemmyverse, I didn’t want libs coming over to an explicitly Marxists-only community.

One of the reasons for these longer posts is to provide an opportunity for us to talk about some issues and to answer questions that others ask in the wider Lemmyverse without (a) coming off as hostile/confrontational or (b) wasting hours writing things that people might not read or appreciate.

(No obligation for us to talk through my posts! But at least there’s always a possibility of a constructive and critical discussion, which doesn’t exist elsewhere.)

Edit: These aren’t necessarily 101 questions, either, but I suppose they could go in !communism101@lemmygrad.ml, depending on what you all think.

    My theory posts on the communism community have gotten the most traction between that and genzhou. I haven’t had any bad faith libs brigading either (yet).

      Maybe a few of mine will go in c/communism, then, depending on the content. Thanks for sharing your perspective.

    I think there’s a good argument to use ghenzou.

    There’s also https://lemmygrad.ml/c/educationhub

    It seems like your purpose is a little different than the sidebar in that community, but I think you could request it. The only mod hasn’t been active in a couple years.

    I think it’d be fine if you wanted to make your own community for the purpose too!

      Thanks for your input. Maybe Genzhou is the one, then. I don’t know if I could handle responsibly the power of running my own community.
