Just my opinion but Reddit is so much worse and I'm still glowing from how much right leaning, misogynistic content I've freed myself from since leaving it behind and hanging out here instead. Frankly I have no idea what you're talking about because I see nothing wrong here. It sounds like you're expecting perfection. You didn't even acknowledge the work that goes into maintaining and moderating a decentralized platform for free.
Problem is you are now in an echo chamber of left wing hate. Oi course the hate of the left wing is different form right wing - but just at evil
That is something (too) many will not be willing to hear. See my other comments: they've been educated in wanting that echo chamber more than anything else.
Changing that will take hard work and, even worse in our days and age, a lot of patience as it won't happen overnight, not even in a single generation's span...
Sounds like you called yourself out. The right preaches intolerance. Sorry, was that intolerant of me?
far right: we’re gonna exterminate entire social groups because they’re impure
far left: we’re gonna get everyone’s basic needs met, and do everything possible (including violence) to stop the far right from exterminating anyone.
You: I literally cannot tell you two apart
Incredible, thank you for sharing.
You really have bought into the echo chamber if you believe that.
There are bad people on both the right and left wing. However the majority on either side are not bad. Most (on both sides) have not thought deeply about the effects of if their ideas really were done in the real world. (A few have and have decided the downsides are worth accepting, but if you are not aware of the downsides and intentionally accepting of those as the least bad compromise you are part of the problem) We can disagree on which downsides are not bad enough to ignore - but everything has downsides.
