😂 You're allowed to not want to leave. But just because you refuse to learn something new/have Stockholm Syndrome/etc doesn't make the fediverse broken!
That should’ve been the post: a screenshot of that with the link given (was too lazy to find it again)
Yeah very silly takes on the fediverse. Right about one thing: the hivemind is strong. To offer a nuanced opinion, you have to go in hard at least sarcastically about the far-left view, then you can share how it could be theoretically questioned by a reasonable person. (Can and should. Echochambers will leave our minds feeble, so we gotta duke it out with the uncomfortable stuff.)
What’s the benefit of the hivemind? Should be harder for nazis to offer _non-_nuanced takes framed as questions (JAQing off). Wouldn’t be tolerated for a second; no one has time for it here. We take the good with the bad.
I would, though, love to subscribe to a conservative community with exclusively social-justice minded posters, but who still offer unusual or right-of-center framings. Like imagine if (heh, if) the US supports a terrible leader in the Middle East, but we actually couldn’t just cut communication with them tomorrow or something even worse could happen. And maybe we all here offer unwavering criticism of the US support b/c it’s so obviously the correct thing to do, but someone right-of-center can ~~akshually~~ actually us in a nuanced way that leaves us smarter. And more able to call out the correct plan of action too (e.g. cut off support in six months, not tomorrow, after a structure is in place). (…this example sucks)
they're... not wrong y'know
