The same white liberal crowd that wanted mediation between Black Americans and the KKK. "Let's just talk this out and find a middle ground guys"

Exactly. The people who spout "apolitical" all the time are just a part of the global elite.

It's the rich that will tell the poor to stop being political and go find a job.

It's the white people who will tell the black people to just stop doing crime instead of getting political.

It's always your boss that says to keep politics out of the office, just show up on time and do your job.

The oppressor always tell the oppressed to stop getting political. Because getting "political" is the only way that you could potentially stop the oppression.

For many issues, I'll sit it out of I don't feel like I have enough knowledge to weigh in properly. I've increasingly started avoiding news for the sake of my mental health. There are many reasons to be unable to be involved with political matters.

They did do this and when I read the thread announcing the new rules literally every comment chain was about how fucking dumb the mods are for doing that lmao, I didnt read one comment in support of it of course.

The admins of antiwork will not listen to anyone, they've probably already written it off as 'tankie bots' and the notion of doing direct democracy with there userbase and not just ruling as a cheap imitation of a vanguard, just without the education, theory or ideological rigor to manifest it and convince people they are worth leading them outside of their mod discord server.

edit: the facade is breaking

Conservatives have historically been defined as having perpetual victim complexes, no amount of wins for them can reverse the victimhood for them; they will always be losing and winning at the same time.

yeah reddit still sucks but r/all is filled with twitter banning and a little facebook banning and that's kinda nice

I barely use reddit anymore except for a few subs I follow on the app Stealth, which doesn't have a login feature, so I don't really interact over there unless I'm really compelled to and when I'm on my PC.

Using it on my browser I see a lot more positives with a lot of subs banning Twitter, it's just that of the few that I actually care about, like r/linux_gaming that I use to keep on with the Linux gaming side, defending Musk is so prevalent it absolutely pisses me off. Not only that, but there's also ableism on full display on that thread, and every now and then there's always sinophobia there. But maybe I'm naive to expect tech bros to be even 1% decent on average. I guess I expected better from the open source community.

More and more “general leftist” subs are going farther and farther left.

Yeah that's an upside I have seen too, specially on r/latestagecapitalism. I think I saw them doing a pretty hard turn left in the past year where the amount of actually good leftist posts have been increasing, which is always great to see.

I've been meaning to delete my account there for a while because I barely uses it other than to keep informed on a few subreddits. It just got to a point where at least now I have an even better excuse to delete it.

Twitter at least still shows me insightful information sometimes, cause of who I’m tuned into.

I recently deleted my Twitter, tho I wasn't using it since the temporary ban here in Brasil. And even tho it was also relevant for me since it also had insightful information, I couldn't take the sheer amount of nazi posting that would show up to me there.

Reddit for me had become basically just arguing with imperialists, if my comments weren’t insta-shadow-deleted on bigger subs or if I didn’t get banned on one sub or another for challenging the genocidal zionist narrative or the “Russia is cartoon evil and inexplicably decided to be as evil as possible” narrative.

Part of my experience there have been like this too, plus the fact that I got told that my country deserved a US backed military coup. 🤡

Thanks, I'll use that.

I have been trying to get on Xiaohongshu but the SMS never arrives :(

I'll try to login with WeChat after I get it to work on my rooted phone. I really want to see how things are in there and it gives me motivation to learn Mandarin too lol.
