You no longer have an excuse to be on :reddit-logo: outside niche hobby subreddits.

    Problem is that any reddit alternative usually ends up populated with those types.

    Discord and Mastodon have been leftist hubs for a while. Tumblr had its fair share of leftists for a long time. They don't get as much attention as 4chan and thedonald.win because they aren't as notoriously shit.

    Also, it wasn't really until Bernie got big that Reddit made a point of going after leftist spaces explicitly. So Reddit hosted a very lively leftist community for a lot longer than Bush-Era cynics would have guessed. Left, Right, and Center are all in a period of reorganizing as the older and more dominant social media forms reshuffle themselves.

    Its actually kinda funny that don't hear about leftists trying to do anything on Facebook or Twitter or Instagram or Pintrest or Gab. Like, it isn't as if The Zuck did some kind of leftist purge (at least, none that I heard about). These places just suck so much that Leftists don't even bother with them.
