Is awesome. Everybody is cool, upvotes everywhere, no downvotes, actual discussion, and love for Canada.
I upvote almost every post because the posts here are good. I haven't downvoted anyone except the Hamsandwichisfaggot troll account. I've been here a few days, and to my knowledge, I've never been downvoted. I've had meaningful interactions.
Every community should be like this. Even when we disagree, we can just talk about things and figure them out.
Really opens your eyes to who the divisive and ugly people in society truly are. Here you can just have a conversation. I will challenge anyone's beliefs with a logical argument. On reddit, I have been banned many times for simply partaking in a controversial discussion.
The collectivist mentality in social media websites that promote a certain narrative is basically you either toe the line or you get harassed, censored and removed. No one actually wants to have a discussion.
I become wary of any community that tries to eliminate a different view. It's not a real community if it does. In real life, they will call you names and shut down potential conversation and walk away. In forums and messageboards, they will downvote you and run away, so you don't even see what talking points they have. You eventually get banned for the simplest of posts.
If there is no discussion, it eventually comes down to groups shrieking louder and louder that you must give them their demands.
I'm the same way.
You're right about the downvotes. If I disagree with truth statement(s) I believe I have III options.
I. Downvote, or silence.
II. Keep scrolling down, or ignore it.
III. Properly refute the argument.
I believe the onus is on me to prove that truth statement untrue, or false.
At times I upvote just so people will see a good debate. It's good conducting commerce in the marketplace of ideas.
We should be capable of civil discourse, but it is difficult when the only Free Speech socials left are the .wins and 4chan, which is disconcerting.
Libertarian Peter Thiel has been influencing Mark Zuckerberg lately, but I'm eternally wary of Facebook.
Candid came and went. That was a phenomenal right-wing app that was opposite of leftist Whisper, but it went the way of Secret.
яeddit seemed to be the Wild West, it is sad what it is has become. :(
