  • About half are Americans, about half are in non-US Western countries, 5% other
  • everyone here hates the current US admin
  • everyone uses adblockers
  • everyone is anti-surveillance (except like 1 or 2 users you find occasionally defending mass surveillance that get downvoted into oblivion)
  • everyone is either a Marxist Leninist, Left Anarchist, Social Democrat, or Democratic Socialist, except like a handful of liberals and like 2 conservatives
  • almost everyone here supports vigilantism
  • Germans... Germans Memes Everywhere
  • BEANS
  • Frequently, you get extreme CCP shills falsely accusing you of Sinophobia, and simultaneously some are actually some closeted Sinophobes.

Let me guess. You went to one of the .ml instances and got accused of being "Orientalist" after saying something that someone politically disagreed with?

Yeah, I still don't completely understand that crowd. I don't think that they're actually shilling, because then they wouldn't be advocating for North Korea. But there are a lot of people there who are clearly not interested in good-faith discussion. I just decided that it's not worth dealing with them very early on.

The !MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works crowd is determined to keep plunging in, though.
