I can’t really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by “both” sides of the spectrum. It’s just something I find interesting.

    Broadly speaking, so-called conservative folk are not creative. They resist change, and trying new things is umm trying new things.

    Weirdos like me LOVE CHANGE and novelty so you can probably guess which direction I lean.

    Trans and queer and furry and weird folk are often programmers and creative folk. ActivityPub is written largely by and for queer and trans and furry folk. So no surprise it’s so strongly supportive of individual expression and rights.

    Is anyone surprised that everything the chump crowd touches fails?

      It’s in the name really.

      And no, I witnessed this with the internet itself post 2000. Get off my lawn 😜

      That’s not really true. The right created Gab, and Ruqqus, and Voat. And they managed to hijack the U.S. legal system which the left can barely understand, let alone influence in any appreciable way.

        A good chunk of the left (not the Dems, the actual left) understands the US legal system. It’s just that it’s hard to win in a pay-to-play system when everyone who can pay is against you.

        Gab is forked mastodon. Dunno ruqqus but it’s shutting down. Never heard of voat.

        Try again?
