Get ready for the tankies and other assholes to scare off all the new users again :D
People who are "scared off" by leftwing politics are probably happier elsewhere anyway
Usually when people leave reddit, many communists do come and find a much better place here. I think it's good that we have a lot of left wing people here, and have little tolerance for right-wing and pro-imperialist views.
That's how practically the entirety of the Internet was before it was monopolized and shoved into apps on smartphones. It was all leftists and hobbyists.
Yep, it's kinda fun that way.
You mean a place where you can have intelligent discourse without somebody smearing shit all over while parroting Fox News talking points?
I wouldn't say social media is a good space for intelligent conversations, haha.
Maybe my standards have been lowered by nextdoor. Nobody spelling you "ewe" because they're using voice to text and not proof reading their brain diarrhea.
That's fair, haha.
Do you prefer hanging out with the reactionaries?
Idk, y’all are not much better than Reddit. Just a different kind of sycophant here.
What are the problems with wanting production and distribution to be collectivized and oriented around needs, rather than profits? How is this comparable to Reddit?
I don't think that part is the problem
Then what is?
I think he might be talking about the userbase.
(I agree 😬)
I disagree, then.
👍
Every time this happens we gain new comrades while filtering out the worst of the insufferable reddit stereotypes to the reddit instances, thus keeping the rest of the fediverse clean. We are like mussel colonies filtering out fedora behavior. You're welcome.
