I’m using kbin, lemmy, and reddit for context. IMO reddit has started to turn sour. Kinda hard to explain, but it’s like nobody reads what you say for context anymore. They immediately twist what was said or use specificity (or lack thereof) as some way to discredit your point while ignoring the whole. It’s getting frustrating to try to have a conversation there.
It makes the content in reddit far less enjoyable.
OTOH cruising around lemmy and kbin I get shocked by the extremists posting fascist, pro-russian, or other political extremes, yet you can find a lot of the (reasonable) people here actually want to have a conversation.
i consider myself a ecofashist but i pretty much don't rub it against you're face when you want recommendations for cheese
