      My primary objective is raising awareness for the Genocide. I always try to balance between reaching the biggest audience and communities which most need to be informed.

      For example the best place to reach conservatives on Reddit would be r/Conservatiive, however posting anything anti-Trump there would instantly get you banned. Same with Lemmy.World being the best place to change peoples mind. If there’s not a bunch of mad liberals in the comment section I’m just preaching to the choir. The fact that I was able to post there for so long was pretty astounding to begin with.

      This however turned out to also be a downside because many people coalesced around LW and needed no alternative. I never expected the Genocide to go on for this long so I never tried to establish in a smaller community from scratch, as growing a smaller community would take far longer.

      I occasionally posted to Lemmy.Zip before, they are great their reach is not nearly the same. I try spreading my posts around a bit more now because there’s always a triggered mod somewhere. Thanks for reminding me of .Zip though! I kind of forgot about them again.

        Indeed

        In an ideal world, people upset with the MBFC bot would turn to the lemmy.zip community, but I’m not seeing this happening any time soon
