edit: changed proposed title to /c/aussocialism. Thanks Zagorath!

There are a few users on here, including myself, who discuss socialist politics. While some topics are interesting and relevant enough to post in other news and politics communities, others might only be interesting to other socialists, such as updates on local political organisations, discussing how theories apply to our economy, or drier historical questions. Consider /r/AustralianSocialism for some examples.

This community will be strictly for Aus/Oceania-specific posts, as there are plenty of communities on other instances for general memes, overseas politics, etc.

Yeah, that'd be nice it have. I'm happy to mod if you ever need an extra.

It'd be good to set it up early before a sectarian or reactionary group tries to do it, like we saw with /r/asksocialists (blatantly co-opted into an ACP grifter ad since late-2025). That said, I also think a more human site like aussie.zone would kick anyone who tried to turn a comm into an ad like that.

I think a community should definitely aim to have a small team of moderators who have a longish history on the server. You want people who understand what aussie.zones about in a situation where sudden growth of Lemmy were to occur.
