edit: changed proposed title to /c/aussocialism. Thanks Zagorath!

There are a few users on here, including myself, who discuss socialist politics. While some topics are interesting and relevant enough to post in other news and politics communities, others might only be interesting to other socialists, such as updates on local political organisations, discussing how theories apply to our economy, or drier historical questions. Consider /r/AustralianSocialism for some examples.

This community will be strictly for Aus/Oceania-specific posts, as there are plenty of communities on other instances for general memes, overseas politics, etc.

Can I recommend the name be something more like aussocialism? Personally I find it more useful if the name of the community itself, not just the combination of name + domain, tells you the subject? It's not as common on aussie.zone, but there are definitely general-purpose communities on feddit.uk, feddit.nl, lemmy.ca, and midwest.social, so it is helpful to give the community a name that makes its purpose clear without needing to read the sidebar.
