I definitely agree that there has been a significant uptick recently in antagonistic (see: reddit brain) behavio and behavior that makes the space less comfortable for any non cis male.
This site should have a ton of potential as an organizational tool for the left, but it feels like it's just falling into being reddit with less users.
Quick Edit: I had a first sentence as a tongue-in-cheek joke, but after rereading it, it didn't land at all. Lol.
In this world? It's a site full of people who are incredibly alienated and full of hatred for capitalism? The best way to get over that is to work it's overthrowing it.
There (at least used) to be posts every week of people wanting orgs to be able to join and/or work with.
The problem is that the culture of the website has shifted, and it's something the mods/admins are know are working on getting back to a place where people can find proper outlets for their alienation.
it’s a website. You are on reddit, you can pretend this is slightly better, and it only is by comparison.
It's not. Maybe you missed what you typed into your browser, but it's a different website both organized and operated differently. If you want reddit, go there and keep that junk on that hellsite.
No it didn’t lol, and if it fundamentally did, it’s because that change was encouraged by the website itself instead of a group of bad users that decided to be assholes one day.
Maybe? Maybe not? Maybe one day we'll get an academic study showing what caused the shift but until that point it's all conjecture. Until that time, though, were left here guessing. Either way, I'm sure it's the mods first time running a website/forum so mistakes will be made and shits gonna have to get worked through.
How the fuck would any new person know about this? Where do you find this information on here if this is supposedly a pipeline for disaffected Bernie babies? Why would people focus on these posts when the highest up-voted content is the most easily digestible and the content that the most reactionary parts of our community can interact with? Do you expect everyone on here to click on every thread with 2 upvotes and 1 comment?
It used to not be burried, they used to end up as top posts with tons of interaction and discussion. They'd happen, as I said, frequently, so people would be able to catch them when they were on.
I have to log off for the night so I don't have time to continue any of this, but by and large, since this is created from scratch I think there's real opportunity for this not to just be "a website" and can be something useful for funneling funds and people into anti-capitalist and mutual aid organizations (on top of like food/life/whatever tips). If you want a place to only shit post and have your opinions validated there's reddit and twitter for that. They exist and have this own space. My hope is that this can be more than something to pass the time before the world is destroyed.

I hear you, but we need these toxic men to stan for juche land and China. We need their hard headed passion to combat the libs.
