Anarchism isn't the only way to be a leftist.

You're oversimplifying (and so was I, to be totally fair). The Reddit exodus has lots of reasons. I think it has more to do with one's thoughts on corporatization and technocultural knowledge which does correlate with left-leaning politics. I'm sure there are many who are just sick of platforms giving Trumpists tacit approval (I think this is the primary driver for people leaving twitter) but that Venn diagram is not a perfect circle.

.ml has tankies, and there's plenty of fair criticism to direct at Dessalines and the mod team for generally cultivating a culture of knee-jerk anti-Western thought (and the inverse, more importantly) but it's not "closer to fascism" because it leans authoritarian and drapes itself in USSR/CCP aesthetic. But it's mostly a FOSS instance with well-deserved bashing of US imperialism and state-sponsored terrorism.

Eh, it's a center-left chamber at best. As evidenced by the extreme reaction to the far-left echo chambers.

It used to be good, but yeah the quality has been going down since before it sold to Nestle in 2022.

Kinda hard to accomplish anything material from the other side of the country.

I was always a weird kid and had gotten tired of most if my peers in elementary school, so when the cruelty ramped up in middle school I was already ignoring most of what was said or done around me. Most of the fighting was wannabe gang shit so it was easy to avoid. There was a guy I would have punched in the mouth, when he threw a book I was reading in a urinal, but he was quite literally twice my size.

Evil god, good monster. Convert villages with displays of power while your loveable idiot puts out fires and gathers food. Slam dozens of worshippers into the pit to fuel your miracles. Having an evil beast is way more chaotic and you spend a lot of time cleaning up.

Many, probably even most of us, are capable of separating game from reality. Bits don't have feelings.

They haven't actually read the story if Sodom and Gomorrah, they've only had it explained to them by people they outsource critical thought to.
