    Did the Star Trek instance defed or something? I remember seeing their posts at first but haven’t seen them recently.

    I’m also still wishing there were more hobbyist instances/communities to interact with, since this has always been a little lacking.

      Looks like there are a bunch in the instances list. How it works, from my understanding, is that someone has to search for a comm and/or subscribe before the content actually syncs. I ended up subbing to all the hexbear comms so they show up on Mander but I’m the only one subbed to most of them.

      Unfortunately, someone in the home instance has to find and interact first.

      There’s also a bot that some instances run which automatically subs to all linked comms so they are searchable from within a home instance but not many run it.

    We have found old comrades and new ones.

    Yes the libs outnumber those we find, and yes it is an endless battle. But it’s worth it.

        People that are open minded get good responses. People that are not get shit responses.

        There is literally no point in attempting to reason with people that do not want to be reasoned with. Libs worship civility, even when it’s with fascists.

            Being civil isn’t the issue. Participating with intent to actually listen and learn is.

            This is exactly the point I am making. You think we should respond nicely to people who are NOT participating in good faith, just because they’re being “”““civil””“”. I’m not wasting my fucking time with people who clearly aren’t open to hearing what I have to say. There are people who ARE open to hearing what I have to say and they get a genuine response, with sources, and a conversation, and things are learned.

            Libs can’t tell the difference between each other and the literal actual fascists around them and it’s infuriating. Which comes from incredible levels of political illiteracy and deferring all of their opinions and political education to media owned by billionaires.
