Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, and the rest are all filled with fascists and the organizations are basically doing nothing to combat that. The world is fucked. Reactionaries are everywhere. But there's also this other less ideologically specific thing... some sort of Debordian dynamic where all of reality is converted into an attention economy and things are only real... or of value... if they are perceived. And the more they're perceived the more real they are. And we all, to some degree, feel these same dynamics even in our little baby presences on places like Twitter. "Oh I've got to post this thing so I can get 30 likes and grow my follower count."

This community is the only one that I'm currently on that doesn't feed into that dynamic... or at least the level to which it does is at such a lower order of magnitude that it feels fundamentally different. I'd love to talk about why that is... but I think some of it has to do with the size of userbases and the way the platforms are designed to mobilize that size... So while I'd love to talk more philosophically about this as well, one concrete thing I am asking is, what other social media sites/communities are there that are active and have longevity into the future, but aren't huge massive multi million user communities?
