Everyday Socialism - Lemmy

lemmy.ml

Cooperation before accumulation. - Treat people with respect, kindness and curiosity. - Disengage if you need to. - Please use the alt text box to describe images for our differently sighted pals. - Anarchists are pals, too. Post about ways co-op structures and public ownership benefit communities by sharing pictures of everyday socialism, linking articles and resources, sharing information on communally owned assets and businesses, promoting local socialist groups, discussions on groundswell socialism, or ask for advice. Examples: Public parks, employee-owned businesses, free stores, community pantries, little free libraries, discuss profit sharing in a cooperative, ask about setting up an anarchist business model, etc. Icon image is of a bonobo climbing a tree, from pixabay Why the bonobo?

With the noble bonobo as a figurehead, I’ve built a community in the spirit of socialism, sharing, and empathy. The bonobo, like socialism, is endangered because of greed and capitalism.

But this isn’t (just) about bonobos.

Everyday Socialism is all about community ownership, sharing and cooperation. It’s about meeting everyone’s needs, sustainability before growth. It’s about promoting employee-owned businesses, public property, and the many projects built on socialist ideals.

Posts can be about wins for socialist groups and parties, articles about organizations that benefit the people, how to make and manage community assets, cooperative structures, or how to build a free library. You could even post about personal projects and victories, or ask for advice.

I intend for this to be a positve space, and despite the socialism, stay relatively free of heated political discussions. Strong opinions will inevitably come up, and I support them as long as communication stays respectful.

This is more about recognizing how socialist principles affect our daily lives.

Rules

The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World’s rules. You can click the link but we’ve reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn’t a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.

1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.

A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn’t rulebreaking and we can’t be supportive to them then we probably shouldn’t engage.

B. No illegal content.

C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.

D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.

E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.

2. Include a community or instance title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities or instances all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.

Formatting

Please include this following format in your post:

[link text](/c/community@instance.com)

This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won’t

You should also include either:

[email protected]

or instance.com/c/community

FAQ:

Q: Why do I get a 404?

A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.

Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?

A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn’t get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn’t actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.
