i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.

    If you truly want a “leftist” online space lacking disagreement, you’re just asking to be put in an echo chamber. Differing opinions are important and should be encouraged - hell this is one of the core principals of democracy.

    The only opinions I don’t respect are those advocating violence or violating basic human rights.

    I hate fascism and I honestly don’t know what liberal means in this context since “leftists” seem to use it as a catchall term often.

      Lol the fact that you think leftism is small and unified enough to be at risk of becoming an “echo chamber” shows just how little you know about leftism.

      Concisely, liberalism means capitalists who think that capitalism is a “free”, “democratic” and “equal” system. Some liberals think its flaws can be ironed out with regulation and reform.

      Leftists aren’t just socially progressive. They’re also anti-capitalist. And no amount of “debating” is gonna change that.

      Btw

      Differing opinions are important and should be encouraged - hell this is one of the core principals of democracy.

      sounds a lot like Musk lol. But least you unambiguously stated you hate fascism, even though I’m not really sure what you would even define as ‘fascism’…

        Sorry I misread your comment, I thought you said leftists lack disagreement, while also claiming it’s a good thing. I don’t think leftism is small and unified (that’s why I put it in quotes in my comment, since I assumed you actually meant a small subsection of leftists).

        Also, while I honestly despise Musk, if he truly believes that (I doubt it), then I agree with him.

        I probably define fascism the same as you, no need to be passive aggressive.

          no need to be passive aggressive.

          Mate, you were confrontational in the first place lol, no need to tell the other guy to calm down, he’s not an idiot, he knows what you initially assumed of him obviously.
