The Fediverse is huge and overwhelming to a newcomer, with many different types and each with servers to pick from. Which ones would you suggest checking out or avoiding?

    This is ridiculous. You really can’t assume anyone “making radical and dumb far-left calls for revolution” is a bot. By this rule every communist is a bot. You’re dismissing very reasonable responses to the state of the world, in which multiple genocides are taking place and it’s been exposed that various heads of states and billionaires are pedophiles and have been conspiring together for years. If anything, I’m sure a lot of reasonable people could just as easily say that anyone who wants to just vote away the problems is a bot. Why is that position inherently better than revolution?

    Also, what are the “obscure and controversial marginalized groups”? Trans people? The disabled?

      Ah, another victim of the chaos, flailing and directing energy at an entire narrative spun by people deliberately having dedicated time and energy to making you specifically feel outraged at people who are your ally, filling all the blanks with your worst case fantasies and the lovely opportunity to police your own side.

      Get off the internet. https://www.progressivevictory.win/ has people you can support and actually get off your ass and help for local representation and leadership. Nobody is coming. Nobody is saving us. There will be no revolution. Rebuild community and drop the rage.

      If the unpopular voices of a random person on the internet are too worrisome and problematic for you to focus on what matters, you’re no good to any of us. I won’t see a reply, I don’t have the energy to deal with .ml’ers right now.
