Continuing An Earlier Era of the Internet [View all]

I feel that this site is bringing an earlier era of the Internet back. It is so refreshing to be able to post things on a forum about important issues without the kind of hostility we see on places like "X".

A lot of these other sites have died, turned into garbage like 4Chan, or become gated hеllscapes like Reddit where you moderators are provoked over nothing and users are toxic.

I do think that this site is underground in the sense that it has fallen under the radar, which is unfortunate. But still, it is important to stay here, especially with the forums we have here. I think this site will grow in popularity as other platforms start gating things and suppressing left-leaning voices because the corporate overlords don't want them.
