New account but I've been using burner accounts and lurking since the sub got banned. I've been seeing all the standard liberal brainworms again for the first time since 
and everytime it's an account from another federation. I was tepidly against federation at first but this has been entertaining, like the old days of 
people who wandered into the sub.
I gotta imagine this will only last another week before everyone defederates us, but let's enjoy it for now.
I hope it's fine that I, as an external, come into your space and give my opinion here, this seems as good a thread as any.
I think what is
is the general hostility here. I think I agree with a lot of the political opinions here, however this place seems to revere "dunking" on people. Sure, these people you're dunking on might not be intelligent, and sure, they might, with their (wilful) ignorance contribute to the destruction of our planet, but I just hate the hostility, open insults, etc. I think it accomplishes nothing except pushing people away, it's not changing anyone's minds.
Whatever good discussion may be found here, I just don't like to deal with the tone it's had in. I understand that it's probably some kind of coping mechanism to deal with this shitty situation we're all in, but I have different ways to cope and don't want this big pile of negativity.
Anyway, I wish everyone a nice poop.
Do you have scientific sources for that?
More importantly, is there any evidence that politeness and trying as best as possible to engage in good faith in every interaction leads to better outcomes? Is Posting Praxis?
Obviously not! We're all just screaming into the void for our own entertainment. If you wanted to make the world better you wouldn't waste your time on a federated reddit clone telling people they're being too rude.
