i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.

    This is a very leftist online space. And proudly so. And it’s not like there’s a lack of disagreement among leftists. But any vagueries about having “controversial” opinions is gonna come across as fascist dogwhistling or at best liberal snobbery.

      If you truly want a “leftist” online space lacking disagreement, you’re just asking to be put in an echo chamber. Differing opinions are important and should be encouraged - hell this is one of the core principals of democracy.

      The only opinions I don’t respect are those advocating violence or violating basic human rights.

      I hate fascism and I honestly don’t know what liberal means in this context since “leftists” seem to use it as a catchall term often.

        Lol the fact that you think leftism is small and unified enough to be at risk of becoming an “echo chamber” shows just how little you know about leftism.

        Liberalis generally are capitalists who think that capitalism is a “free”, “democratic” and “equal” system. Some liberals think its flaws can be ironed out with regulation and reform.

        Leftists aren’t just socially progressive. They’re also anti-capitalist. And no amount of “debating” is gonna change that.

        Btw

        Differing opinions are important and should be encouraged - hell this is one of the core principals of democracy.

        sounds a lot like Musk lol. But least you unambiguously stated you hate fascism, even though I’m not really sure what you would even define as ‘fascism’…
