    Leftists deserve our own space on the internet.

    That’s not what the fediverse is for. The fediverse isn’t to be your own personal haven. However, you can use the fediverse to make a leftist instance and defederate/ban right wingers as you please.

    I haven’t been on Reddit since the API fallout, but I rarely ever saw right wingers, nevermind bots.

    Some of these platforms (notably xitter) have algorithms to farm rage

      Oh you saw bots, they were everywhere. You just didnt realize you were interacting with bots. At least once a week I found a bot account trying to steer conversations on reddit.

        What I do remember was being banned from half the subs because I posted a pro vaccine comment in the nonewnormal sub. And it wasn’t conservative subs that were banning me. It was usually leftist, slightly leftist or even completely apolotical subs with leftist moderation. And then they broadened their ban list to include pro life subreddits and anti-pitbull activism subreddits as well.

        I did not get an impression that it was a right-wing site.

        Twitter always was a cesspit as well, even before Elon. It was filled with leftist dreamSMP and k-pop stans who’d doxx you over misnaming a haircut in Animal Crossing. When elon bought it, it just turned into a right wing cesspit. A cesspit is still a cesspit.
