It’s one thing to have differing views, but I’ve seen enough attempted reddit migrations to be relieved that the popular communities in the fediverse so far haven’t been about crazy racist stuff or other extreme right bullshit.
I am also glad that I’m getting away from reddit’s general political shitposting, which was more left leaning. You couldn’t have any proper discourse on there, and even I with my generally more left leaning views recognized that.
But we have out fair share of Mao and Stalin lovers and Xi loveboys. It’s very simmilar. But I guess they are mostly contained to one or two instances.
These instances are like pirate ships pursuing us.
But they don’t write from their original instance name… nonono, I’m sure that they are popping up here with a fresh duplicate account:
And you end up discussing with a whooping 5 downvotes as a starter. It gives the tone for the other people who want to discuss and see you as “this guy”.
Yeah, that also sucks, but on the other side Reddit had those too. Over half of leftist subreddits was plagued by them in fact.
I really liked /r/latestagecapitalism but I got banned for talking smack about China, and how the authoritarianism of the USSR and its child states didn’t line up with the values they tried to espouse.
Permanently banned. Appeal ignored. Disappointing, but good riddance I suppose.
I haven’t seen any, just block political communities.
That’s like closing the eyes. I like tje political communities, that was the main reason I was on reddit.
/r/Politics was a pretty terrible place. I hope you aren’t suggesting you want that here.
after reading your comments, you hate anything that leans left.
