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
It’s completely natural to want to stay away. Even lemmy.ml, which is still full of commenters from Lemmygrad, makes me somewhat uncomfortable, never mind hellholes like R*ddit (aside from specific sections like /r/sino). Still, for those who are mentally stable enough to deal with it, there are always some liberals who can be convinced on those kinds of websites, although it’s probably more productive to organize in person if you’re capable of doing that
