    it’s the only large subreddit that is mostly fine politically

    :doubt:

    A captured “leftist” sub that apparently caters to teenagers and is also imperialist?

    Sounds like the state department has managed to narrow the range of acceptable discussion on :reddit-logo: very effectively.

      Yes it's garbage on anything foreign policy (much better at calling out Western imperialism than usual and has the usual reddit brainworms on Ukraine) but there's no transphobia (sometimes there's chasers though) and they dunk on neolibs. I prefer /r/TrueAnon and SLS but those subs get 2 orders of magnitude fewer posts.

        fair enough. I forget how difficult it is to find non-transphobic places online that are not exclusively queer. Hexbear has spoiled me.

          Yeah I mean I'm cis so it's not really for my sake, just good to be somewhere where I know the other people aren't scumbags.

            Oh, absolutely. I mean the same as well. Transphobes are fascists and finding places that throw them out is a literal baseline requirement for me.

            The rights of queer people are non-negotiable, same as any marginalized community. Anyone who thinks otherwise is only a few drinks away from selling us all out for a red armband.
