The thing is, you can ONLY have a conversation with extremely like minded people. If you are not tip-of-the-left authoritarian, you are called a filthy lib and shunned.
Sadly it just suffers the same syndrome as that conservative sub on reddit: "Anyone who doesn't agree with me on every important and semi important point is literally the same as my worst enemy and I will fill their inbox with insults"
I disagreed with the way they often brigade posts and they said I was "indiscernible from the racist, fascist party" from my country. Like they went through the effort of looking up where I was from and the political parties there to find the most right wing one to name call and insult me with lol. That says a lot about the community culture, in my opinion.
It also has heavy Russian apologist content. Like, I even understand that MLs love China and excuse everything they do, but Russia is literally an right wing oligarchy with no health care and crippled social benefits that is led by an extreme right wing authoritarian fascist. I get that they are China's ally by the enemy-of-my-enemy principle, but that doesn't mean they are automatically good.
Not like over here, where I just mentioned another community I belonged to. Very different😒. Congratulations!
Ha, true. Well on the bright side, it looks like you only had one person insult you and they didn't try to dox you so at least the lashback is quite tame 😅 I would call that a very positive experience if we were over there haha
Everyone hates everyone I guess...
lol the last time I was doxed was some MAGA freak on Nextdoor. Now that’s a fucking cesspool of filth…
