    Seriously though, who still uses Reddit? It’s nothing but a left wing echo chamber, just like BlueSky.

      They aren’t and, if they were, is that a problem?

      Look at what right-wing echo chambers have led to. Look at what the “centrist” internet has led to.

      Its 2025 and there are still people on the Fediverse convinced that the problem is the “left”. Utterly divorced from reality.

        That’s because the left expects loyalty but never gives it in return.

        You people think you can keep calling people nazis because they don’t agree with you on everything and expect them to ignore it. People don’t like being censored and they don’t like being told what to think.

        The left doesn’t care about the working class either, they’re just not as brazen in exploiting it. So when all that’s left is the culture war (good job everyone who perpetuated it over the class war), a significant amount of people aren’t going to be on your side.

        A lot of you only have yourselves to blame. You behave like children yet want to be treated as adults. It doesn’t work that way outside of your parent’s houses.

        Also, neither were designed specifically as such, unlike social sites like Truth. Plus, Twitter and Facebook are heavily dominated by right leaning groups.

          i said reddit is mostly a reposting site of Xitter, TRUTH SOCIAL, and FB posts. which is all right wing garbages. and also posting article from right wing sources.

        My ONLY problem with the left is they preach tolerance but are ALWAYS the ones to start the abuse, insults, name calling and threats when they are disagreed with.

        On a place light Reddit most subs will just ban you for showing any right leaning opinions. Or any opinion that goes against their narrative. That’s not what tolerance is.

            It is the left that starts the abuse.

            If I were to say “there are two genders (male and female) and you can not change what you were born as” the red mist descends and because my views don’t align I get called a phobe or ist or a bigot. They simply can’t accept that not everyone shares their ideology.

            As for the right starting the abuse just look at the Reform member conference in Cornwall last week.

            It wasn’t the right wearing masks to hide their faces and physically trying to stop people entering while threatening and verbally abusing them.

            With two-tier Kiers thought police WATCHING from the sidelines.

                Sorry but your gender argument is plain false.

                There are two biological genders. Male and female. Anything else is a birth defect and it is biologically impossible to change what you are.

                Just because a person thinks they aren’t the gender they were born as does not make them some third gender. It is a mental health issue.

                Sex and gender are fundamentally the same thing but the definitions have been twisted to suit a specific ideology which has no basis in fact.

                You are of course free to believe anything you wish. If a person wants to believe there are 100+ genders then they have that right, But what nobody has the right to do is expect and demand that others fall into line with their ideology and beliefs. And they absolutely do not have the right to start throwing abuse and words like transphobe around simply because beliefs don’t match.

                    I must thank you for proving my point.

                    We’ve both made our arguments, I’ve said everyone is free to believe whatever they wish and it’s obvious we will never agree. But you simply can’t accept that people disagree with gender ideology and must try and push your beliefs onto others, in this case, me.

                    So to finalise this conversation.

                    I am of the opinion that there are two genders. You are of the opinion that there are more.

                    We are both entitled to our respective opinions whether you agree with them or not.

          That is because “the left” might have a few members that just so happen to be better read and have considered some of Popper’s writings.

          On such a note, I presume these right-leaning opinions aren’t about the virtues of conservative fiscal policy?

          There are many right wing views, views that are now sadly becoming more and more mainstream, that should not be tolerated. If right wingers had faced actual consequences when espousing their hatred of minorities, we might not be looking at a US government that wants to cozy up to Putin and distance their long term allies while stripping away the rights of US citizens.

              Depends.

              On your property, using your voice? Sure.

              At 2:30am, you yelling it 20ft from your neighbor’s house? Probably nor, mainly as it disturbs other people’s normal use of their home.

              On someone else’s property? Depends on if they allow it.

              In public, in the commons? Sure, as long as people are allowed to ignore you.
