    i’ve been lurking for a bit and didn’t really want to start commenting for the first time in the past few days for some reason. but i’m happy to see this community has been created.

    am new to lemmy but i’ve been mod of anarchist spaces on other platforms and if there is one thing i’ve learned it is to ban electoralism entirely, including advocating for voting. i get that the outcomes of elections do have an impact, and i’m trans and vulnerable to that as well, and people are going to have v strong feelings on it. but it brings nothing but endless derailment of any space, anytime the US has an election, and it’s not like we make up a big enough demographic to influence the results anyway.
