Itβs pretty much the same but on Reddit itβs ok to be combative and rude with people as long as public opinion approves. Also most of the posts are bots so you arenβt actually being rude to a person there most times.
Please donβt do that here. There are way less bots here so please remember you are speaking to actual humans.
Also political discourse is mostly ok here. Same rules apply with rudeness though. On Reddit you will get quarantined or shadow banned quickly with anything politically charged.
The atmosphere here is so kind and welcoming that I want to interact kindly so much (I guess thats a great thing though :D) Have a great day :D
What if someone doubles down on being an absolute tool, can I be rude about dismantling their personality then?
I got banned on Lefty Memes for asking for evidence. :)
Just pick your instance and you can get that here. Unfortunate number of tankies running around on here.
Which would you say is the least political site? (please and thanks)
You called countries like China "shitholes," and were taking issue with the fact that the US Empire has been a constant source of pain and misery for the entire planet, yet the DPRK is labeled as a "terrorizing rogue state." It isn't because you don't agree with the DPRK, it's because you were being chauvanist and minimizing the fact that the DPRK is a very peaceful country internationally (since the Korean War) while the US Empire has been committing vast amounts of genocide and imperialism the world over.
Nah, I just checked your modlog when you said people can get banned "for disagreeing with North Korea." You can do it for anyone, on the default web viewer just click the 3 dots then "XYZ Moderation History." No stalking necessary.
I do argue about politics, sure. I don't stalk people to do it, though. I do touch grass, and my spouse and I hug plenty, thanks for worrying though. Not a CPC agent either, though that would be cool.
I am a Statesian, and they certainly didn't teach me how to think critically about the system I live in nor how it lies about its geopolitical enemies. That's something that came with living and working in a brutal system gradually. I sincerely doubt you were taught by the system you live in to be genuinely critical of the system you live in, Statesian or not.
Also, don't call me babe.
Least insufferable .worlder
They literally caught you lying to win political points, and you think they need to touch grass?
That's 100% not true, but I wouldn't expect honesty from you to start with
That's .ml for you.
It literally isn't though, because what they said isn't true.
The removed comment was "exactly", time to get banned of .ml on this account too :D.
Want to try that sentence again, but intelligible?
