I'm curious if anyone feels like sharing stuff.
I will say this: Even though it has been rocky at times, I think for the most part the site is in a pretty good place. I'm glad most people here kinda have the same idea as me and just trying to have a good time, talk about random stuff without having to make every single thing into a huge debate or whatever. I see a lot of respectful and mostly good discussions without people resorting to calling some a fascist or some other annoying thing. We've got so much hostility everywhere on the internet, I'm glad almost everyone here just vibes and shares cool shit ya know?
i don't disagree with having more people here, but i highly doubt there will ever be a melting pot of lefties and weirdos like that sub. For me personally, I tried out so many other leftist subs for a few months after the ban and none of it was the same. There is a ton of wolves in sheep's clothing everywhere on reddit. So much bad faith shit, even in leftist subs. There are a few more very niche ones that are good, but sometimes the circlejerky shit gets to me idk, maybe that's a bad word to use but that's how it feels. I also think it's important and good how inclusive it is here for the most part. A lot of people can = some really rough times for others. The moderation here is solid in taking care of bad actors or reactionaries. it's hard to manage huge numbers in a way. The high activity in the old sub was pretty awesome though, no doubt about that.
