Fair enough. I think is that way with a lot of conservative sites tbh. things like poal/ruqqus/voat/upgoat had more conservative lean than reddit/mastodon/old twitter/lemmy byt also very strong usage of slurs and hardcore, no apologies racism. i was never offended and still think that kind of thing is fun here nd there but it does get a little old when you are look for serious discussion and you get some guy acting like 12yo wth slurs. is why i am alrady missing EH (lemmy instanec).
I dont think there is a really true neutral free speech site out there or i haven't found it if there is. i dont agree with democrats usually but dont mind discussion when you can find some of the less woke ones that can actually still remain polite after you say things like 'i voted for trump' or 'i think gender affirming care is harmful to both patients and society'. but i cant see them bothering unless we are at least cordial in return
> Otoh, video sites do a poor job at fostering conversation anyway.
yeah, i think so too.
see people doing training or news or whatever in video and always i would rather just skim and read it instead. podcasts i get somewhat cuz you can listen while driving or doing yardwork but video completely keeps you from doing other stuff unless you just ignore it but then wahts the point
