the problem is the angry commies, etc. are the most prolific and aggressive users. if your funny meme gets any decent traction… they come storming in because they see an opportunity to push their propaganda and bully people.
not a day goes by here where I am not told I am an ignorant capitalist facist, or worse. often in a community or post that has nothing to do with any of that.
Oh, I hear you. I just scolded all the bloodthirsty folks on the post of the hunter getting killed by the elephants. I await that massive downvoting, nevermind I’m one of the few (only?) wildlife rescue people on this platform. The dude seemed innocent and law abiding and well liked in the local community where he was savagely killed and people here are cheering.
It’s also getting pretty sketchy with all the Israel comments. I’ve always been pro-Palestine, but every day the comments seem to be a little less anti-Israel colonialism and more to the Jews secretly run the world and all Jews support zionism side of things. There is so much gatekeeping in the news and political groups here. I really hesitate to participate anymore, which is a shame compared to how things felt at the API Exodus.
I felt pretty far left before I joined up here. I might still be. I was interested in anarchism and communism before spending so much time here. Now I’m not anti that stuff, but yeah, I don’t need to hear any more about it right now. I’ll keep doing my own thing over here and I’m fine being unaffiliated with a label on what my beliefs are.
Everyone was so scared of being a bad mod, but mods are what keep us from getting to where good users move out because the ones that chase them out while not technically breaking community rules do their thing. It’s a thankless job, and that’s why I have no desire to be one, but I am forever greatful for good mods.
Yeah, on certain hot topic issues there is no clarity or perspective, just blind rage and hate. And if you try to inject and perspective or context on them, well you get threatened, reported, and your comments will be removed.
