A place to ask questions of Lemmygrad's best and brightest

founded 2 years ago
MODERATORS
 

I'm finding myself needing to talk things out with people. I've never been one for writing a letter of thoughts that I'm forming and then sending it to a pen pal and there aren't any third-spaces around me where idea-formation can occur. I'm looking to have discussion with people about the possible paths the burger reich could take or what the potential consequences of certain international actions or events could be or even what the utility of certain choices by various state or world leaders could have.

I have a need for discourse and I would really like to find a way to do it while hearing other people speaking with me. Does anyone have any recommendations for where I can find this?

Please do it in here! I love reading this type of essays no matter how long it is!

Do you have any socialist orgs near you? Honestly I think that would be the best people to have discussion with as in-person > online (though that's just my preference)

Not quite real-time, but Hexbear's daily mega thread is great for casual chat and diaryposting IME

Unless you mean voice chat, then idk

I'm one of the admins of the GenZedong Matrix space (not to be confused with the public Lemmygrad Matrix room, which isn't very active)

You could do it here, as a sort of diary.

Yeah, where else would you do it online?

I don't know any places like Lemmygrad or Hexbear other than Lemmygrad and Hexbear.

Oh yeah. Matrix is good as well...
