I am critical of China and I’ve never been attacked for it on Hexbear. It’s ok if you approach topics in good faith and have nuanced arguments rather than just “CPC evil”.

Personally I think wanting to destroy the American state as it is today and historically is actually very inclusive.

Yeah people act like Reddit has some inevitable death date because Digg did, but the reality is we are getting further and further away from a time in which a big social media entity actually DID die. I mean people say Facebook is old and washed but it’s still growing in users and has been non-stop for over 15 years. The only one that has died since the end of Digg was Vine, and that was partially just because its owners didn’t really care about its fate anymore.

I would actually stop using Reddit if they did this. New Reddit is intolerable.

Very good point-a way of connecting communities on Reddit that seems fairly innocuous but is actually a massive means of the “transmission” of users between communities, allowing users to find communities they like quicker and thus making them more likely to stay.

Very good point that I didn’t think of tbh.

I don’t know why you are shocked and horrified when people engage with something on their own front page?

That’s how federation works, is it not?

It’s not brigading, it’s literally right there at the top of the front page, so of course people will comment on it.
