      I am not only on .world (actually started out there and moved over here), but yeah, for me that was the last straw. That official app is just an affront.

      Most of us have started from the default programming. I didn’t get a lot of what I get today when I moved from Reddit. I know it can feel shitty to keep repeating the same things and make the same arguments over and over again but that’s the process of teaching.

        For what it’s worth, it’s important to have ways to do this efficiently, like linking to other resources or having copypastas. Otherwise the infinite influx of ignorant noobs will eventually cause burnout or just waste too much time.

      Reddit is not even “liberal” anymore. The people on the conservative sub will say that it is but its been shifting rightward for years. There are a lot of people getting permad over things that in the past would have had broad agreement.

        Absolutely 100% incorrect. If it’s shifting right, it’s shifting there from “extremely far left” to “super far left”. It’s not right leaning in any way. It’s not even centrist.

        You still get instant perma banned for daring to say there are 2 sexes, or that men should be banned from women’s sports.

          It’s shifting from center “left” to libertarian right to match up with the ceo, and pretty soon will just be as bad as Twitter

          Ex Can’t be critical of musk or any of his terrible products, that earns a ban

      Depends which wave of newcomers. Some in more recent migrations just got banned for criticizing musk or endorsing Luigism, which is pretty milquetoast stuff any old lib can do.
