I left reddit because i found its communities to be overtly racist, toxic, and very white-centric in its views. I hoped this federated world would be better, but i mostly see a bunch of weird pro putin propaganda disguised as “rationality” or material thinking.

So, I’ve concluded that the problem isn’t reddit, it’s social media in general. What a shit show. I’m going to play the piano in the laundry room now.

This is the idea of communities who guarantee the freedom of speech. So, basically you have 2 options, you deal with reddit, or you jump to some other community that allows space for every voice, and as i can see that you are not good with. What is the the idea of a community that let you see the opinion from one side only?

This is about a sensitive time, it takes sometime when supporting Russia will be almost normal as the Nazi's in most of Europe.

Most of the people's opinions about Russia (currently) are only a trend, in fact millions of people around the world support Ukraine without knowing the root cause of the issue many of them barely heard of Ukraine, not because they have an idea, but this what the trend is asking them to do, THE MEDIA.
