        Yeah I agree with a lot of what you’ve said here. I actually switched to db0 from lemm.ee as my primary instance when hexbear defederated from ee. I mostly lurk anyways but I do like seeing their posts from time to time, at the very least it’s good to get a wider perspective on things. Tbh Lemmy in general and especially the leftist instances have made me reconsider some of my long standing beliefs and have contributed greatly to my radicalization lol

          What do you mean by “radicalization”? I know you’re talking in hyperbole, but are you saying that you’re more fervent of your original ideas, or that going over there made a huge impact on the things you believe in?

        Thank you! Sounds point, and I appreciate you typing all that. I will check it out with an open mind. But that will be difficult. I come from a place where socialism/communism was implemented, in which the message was “being rich is a bad thing,” and the government is just a bunch of hypocrite authoritarian corrupts. So I have my reservations.

        But I’m always willing to learn.

      Not who you asked, but it really is just a group of rowdy leftists that do not tolerate liberalism of any manner. Defederation has resulted in an inflated mythology surrounding them, as though they are a pack of rabid animals, but if you go on their site it’s pretty normal for a leftist space.

        A dirtbag left space, certainly. You’ll get dogpiled for most any dissenting opinions, but it’s generally “here’s [link] where you’re dumb and wrong, do better” not “kys bootlicker”.

        I don’t get ppb as the peak of comedy, they can keep that
