I’ve been able to reach quite a few people by being a consistent, reliable person there
I get your criticisms, but if you go back and read @calidris@hexbear.net"s comment, he says he’s doing exactly what you’re advocating and is expressing some frustration with people who are tugging on the other end of the rope.
If you’re engaging with people in real life the same way you are on here, I’m surprised you’re able to make any progress. And if you don’t, why do you have more patience with them than you do with us?

Frankly because you all should know better. Instead the site is filled with politically demobilizing idealistic takes. My audience right now is the self-righteous strain of political disengagement from a bunch of people who supposedly want to build communism on a website known for crude and blunt communication.
Okay but you’re getting multiple replies from people doing the thing you want them to do and expressing some frustration over the experience and your response has been to continue to do your best R. Lee Ermey impression at them.
i’m mad red and nude and there’s nothing you can do about it
ok but yes I concede that @calidris@hexbear.net is doing the right thing and I apologize for lumping them in with the rest of the people on here who are very much not. Sorry calidris, you do not deserve to be a target of my scorn.
I would imagine crude and blunt is a multiple times a day encounter IRL, too. At least where I am. Don’t get me wrong, so are ill intentions couched in polite wordcraft, so skill when conversing with either is necessary. Online is practice.

I wholeheartedly accept your apology. We need leftist unity in all things.
Sometimes we just need a kick in the ass, just tryna point out that there’s also been what looks to me like good faith engagement.
