Am I the only one who gets bunch of posts from leftist and even communist subs/circlejerks in their feed? It’s kinda weird to see genzedong and similar popping up in hot/rising feed. This just hopefully some of the growing pains of a new platform.

Hi! I’m a dirty communist from a dirty communist instance. Consider that these things aren’t circlejerks, consider instead that generally we have the opinions that we do for a reason and when we discuss things, it might be a good faith discussion but your guard may (possibly for warranted reasons) be up. Please grant us the faith that it’s not a circlejerk. I’m also open to answering any questions that might alleviate your (or anyone else reading’s) notions that we are a circlejerk.

GOP is busy listening to pod casts that’s how they get all their information. They only know how to use their phones so it makes sense that they can’t actually explore the web and open their minds.

Hence letting the religious fruitcakes take over and continue to push wild conspiracy theories and ignore science as their main party platform.

What you are seeing is literally because the people you identify with are mostly fucking idiots. You should be so proud!

Unfortunately it seems really common for any new social media platform to lean way too hard into wither the far left or right, instead of finding a middle ground where a wider range of political views can coexist.

But hey, if we had to pick one extreme, then far left is a lot better than the far right nazi apps that crop up a lot.
