I will go to sleep, because it is late.

Here’s a list to some alternatives. Some might look to be non-alternatives at first glance, so before naming some alternatives I’d like to remind what the purpose of spaces like this are:

Communicating with others

• writing letters to prisoners, and having an adress they can respond to. If they answer, write an response
• walls (get some chalk, spray paint, etc). I grand you read/write access
• zines (write/read and them circulate)
• non-lemmy fediverse platforms
• email lists (you can use them as if they are federated forums)
• blogs/rss feeds
• irc/xmpp
• raddle.me

The problem with lemmy right now is that there are too few instances. The instances that has momentum has a strong tankies presence which a lot of people are uncofortable with. The most natural answer would be for them to create their own instance, but they chose to leave the platform instead 🤯
