There are only so many more braindead, agenda-fueled smug remarks I can deal with at this point and I’ve lost all hope of changing most of these people. Just this evening I commented a one sentence defense of China’s foreign policy on reddit only to get every single one of my comments from the past week bombarded by a guy spamming Taiwan emojis and calling me a “CCP slave girl who should go to the Xinjiang rape camps”. It’s tiring
I’m mostly here for sources, non-Western news and viewpoints and the comradery.
I sometimes discuss things in liberal spaces but in general I don’t bother too much with Redditors really. I do enough outreach and education in real life, where I can make more of an impact.
I don’t see anything wrong with this being your only social media. It can be an echo chamber, but imo there is a lot of valuable discussion going on here. Discussing on social media can be ass, because you can easily get called what you mentioned above. There’s often no pointin engaging.
