The problem is that a lot of people, specially Americans, have interiorized “red scare” propaganda notions, even when they see themselves as Lefties.
If you don’t just mentally go “uuh, commies” at the mere wiff of communal solutions it’s a lot easier to actually look at certain ideas and judge them on their actual pros and cons, as is spotting authoritarianism for what it is (whether it claims to want to implement leftwing notions or rightwing ones) and tribalism (of the kind that supports Fascism whilst claiming to be leftwing, and I include both Putin supporting “communists” and Zionism supporting “liberals”)
I have been hearing really good things about this new service called X. Very small and friendly community. You just need to register an account and do 12 easy installments of 420.69 yearly
Hackernews is just chock full of techntos who think that since they know how to code, that automatically makes them rational and more authoritative on a subject than most people. Every time I go there I’m surprised by how crappy it is lol
Love hackernews but if it gained huge traction outside of the programmer community, it’d be corpinated and enshittified in the blink of an eye by a team of MBAs.
I wish there were alternatives to Reddit. If anyone has a recommendation, let me know.
How do you feel about Linux and leftist infighting?
I feel like the tankie brand of leftism shouldn’t be called that. Their embracing of technocrat totalitarians kind of puts them out of the left field.
You know, for all the complaints I see of tankies, I have encountered 10x more people who incessantly complain about them.

I don’t incessantly complain, but my Lemmy experience had improved massively by banning the most notorious instances.
Love Linux, but why be redundant about leftists?
Damn Leftists. They ruined Leftism!
The wrong kind of Leftist ruined Leftism, not the right kind.
/s (because this one really needs it)
Sail the high seas.
There’s a place that doesn’t happen?
Truth social
Pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft
It’s funny because Lemmygrad, .ml and hexbear are alsmoat indistinguishable from truth social of out in plain text
Sure but they are mostly Nazi bars and Klan rallies.
Nobody hates leftists like slightly different leftists.
You take that back 👊 💥
Give me leftist infighting over Nazi content any day of the week!
Lemmy think on it and get back to you.
Maybe I can help!

I almost feel like there’s an answer there for you, but I can’t put my finger on it.
However, last night I had a vision about th singer of Motorhead. I think it means something…
I’m struggling to see the connection with Lemmy “Kbin” Kilmister.
Didn’t he tour with Mastodon?
IIRC there is an open source project for forums communities.
It’s called SMF I think.

Besides Lemmy, HackerNews is decent altho way less subject/community driven
Hackernews is just chock full of techntos who think that since they know how to code, that automatically makes them rational and more authoritative on a subject than most people. Every time I go there I’m surprised by how crappy it is lol
Hacker News might be the most insufferable and childishly naive place on the internet.

Lobste.rs is pretty active too for tech focused topics
But getting membership is next to impossible. I tried maling them and contacting them on their IRC channel, but to no avail.
I’ve heard good things about Lemmy
