    Thrilled to be here at the start of something new! I remember saying the same thing about Voat years before, but I don’t think this site will go that way being federated and all. I’m on Mastodon too and call me crazy but I think federated internet is the next age. Just made a woodworking page. Can’t wait to find some like minded folks to share hobbies with! ohhhh you know what? I like gardening too…

          A bunch of the alt-right people, facists, and QAnon nutjubs moved over there when their communities got nuked on reddit.

            Do you think that’s going to happen here? The community makes the platform but I used to like Reddit back in the wild west days before everything was so censored. It was up to me if I wanted to consume some content - and while I largely chose to avoid certain things, I felt like it was my choice. A great example was the r/toosoon sub that got banned for it’s morbid humor when some celebrity died. Sure it was in bad taste but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t exist

              Do I think those people will move in? No, I don’t. Apparently some had already tried and they got stamped out pretty quickly.

              There’s a pretty strong Marxist/Leninist/far-left community on here as well, so that helps. They can be insufferable themselves (mostly just the authoritarian pro-Putin ones), but as long as it’s not facist bullshit I can deal.
