I got to say I really really hate their community. I still post there (infrequently) because there are some good posters and content. I remember when you could stay stuff online about your own personal views about politics (or anything really) just as an aside - and people would respect your opinion and talk with you about it. I'm not looking for a fight, and what I am saying is very basic stuff - but it does not align with their angry mob mentality. It saddens me when all I get are "yikes", "HaHa. Wow." or just clapping emojis with a meaningless line about waking up. What are those replies supposed to even mean ?
Is this what progress looks like ? I cannot even express my own 0.01% different opinion on a topic - or talk about an idea without being flamed or piled on by their user base. I now refrain from posting, I cannot deal with the constant negativity they generate. Maybe this is not an ERA thing, maybe more of a internet has become hateful thing, but it sucks.
If you say anything about being centrist or right of center the only way to dodge a ban is to be able to justify every policy/action not made by Progressive Dems.
The problem with that is some of the answers are bannable wrong think ideas.
So they set you up to fail.
So their is no 'discussion' it's just a circle jerk of the same ideas.
How can we not watch them? Everyone loves to rubberneck when they see a disaster.
Everyone loves to watch from a distance the crazy person screaming nonsensical shit.
It's like a game. Once or twice a day, go to ResetEra, scan topics till you see that one that makes you go "Ohhhh this one is gonna be good!" *scroll, scroll,scroll* "GENDER REVEALS ARE TRANSPHOBIC!" Bingo! We got crazy on page 1!! Let's see where this autistic troon steers this mess!"
Shit is comedy gold!
