    Its an alternative the same way r/conservative is an alternative to r/thedonald. Except instead of answering to reddit admins they have to worry about their host putting up with their shit, ddosing, and everything else that comes with running your own platform.

    Shit like this is still controlled by a group of people dedicated to spreading their bullshit ‘truth’ while silencing any opinions/facts that disagree with their predetermined narrative.

      i really don’t see the issue with that though. isn’t it great that they’re over there, rather than in here?

        No, bubbles never work for the better of the society. Constant intellectual challenge on the other hand does.

          you mean like how commercial social media literally push you to be in constant conflict because it drives user interaction and helps them generate wealth while also destabilizing nations and causing violent conflicts as a “reasonable” consequence?

          no thanks, i want to be able to exist without perpetual idiocracy. i’m pretty sure their rhetoric causes brain damage at this point. let them be dumb on their own. and their world slowly crumble as they kill themselves off with antivax, nomask, guns, bleach, etc.

          it’s a problem that eventually solves itself when their belief is confronted with actual reality.

            I’m amazed that you think that while the whole conversation was about promoting fediverse, you somehow deduced that I want people to be using algorithm based platforms like twitter and Facebook.

              if your aim is for the fediverse to be filled with vitriol you might as well not bother and stick to commercial platforms. it would defeat the whole point of federating servers.
