It’s one thing to have differing views, but I’ve seen enough attempted reddit migrations to be relieved that the popular communities in the fediverse so far haven’t been about crazy racist stuff or other extreme right bullshit.

I am also glad that I’m getting away from reddit’s general political shitposting, which was more left leaning. You couldn’t have any proper discourse on there, and even I with my generally more left leaning views recognized that.

    It’s like the prevalence of left-handedness shot up dramatically once it was socially acceptable. You can’t look at changes alone and say that things changing is a concern because it’s changing.

      This is false equivalence if I’ve ever seen it. The treatment for left-handedness was to sit on your hand, not do a fucking life-altering permanent surgery.

        What are you on about? It’s about how prevalence is hidden when it’s beaten out of people.
