I've been on a bunch of trans servers, and a bunch of leftist servers. All trans servers ALWAYS devolve into a bunch of morons yelling at each other over weird as fuck drama and competitions on who's the most depressed person on there, which ends up being toxic as fuck to everyone. All leftist servers are filled up by either insufferable libs or insufferable tankies who take themselves so fucking seriously they will throw Mao quotes at you and call you "counter-revolutionary" cause you posted a meme.
Fucking burn it down.
i remember participating in a niche irc video ripping scene in the early 00s and it was funny, strangely harmonious for the dorks we were. i met some of the people irl and they were great, oddly balanced and healthy. and today some private torrent trackers forum are decent. when you're driven by a specific shared goal, it sometimes works.
