I was gonna suggest Mastodon, or maybe Movim? I know there are non-fediverse websites, like Plurk but that might not be what you’re looking for.

Definitely not as many rude people on here.

N-no? You’re supposed to take the kindness and compassion you show yourself and apply it to others :/

I’ve tried to use Gemini browsers, but they are too complicated for my human brain. I can’t remember which browser it was, but it was used mostly for Gemini space.

I’m proud of you in your journey to cut back on drinking. You got this. Keep fighting. It’s a struggle, but it is worth it.

I classify anything that helps your mood as self care lol. Drinking tea would be self care. Flossing helps your teeth stay healthy so I figured it counts.

I think you’re right that the anger is misguided. I also think it stems from trauma, but that’s just me. It’s like the old saying “hurt people hurt people” and right-wingers are a bunch of repressed, hurt people.

Honestly, I’ve been trying hard to practice self-care, so I believe in loving and being kind to yourself. Im also very left leaning, close to socialist/anarchist ideals/beliefs.

I used to hang out on toefur, a straight edge forum (I was straight edge for the majority of my life, not anymore though) It wasn’t a bad site to be on, but it had its moments. I learned the phrase fuckdammit there.

Maybe it’s just my way of thinking, but if someone says “you can’t do that” I usually stop doing that and shut down, because it’s not allowed. I have autism, so that my play a role in it, but my go to response is to just shut down usually and stop doing that thing or avoid it all together.

Aw, no! Phuks has fallen to hate speech? I’ll have to investigate this. I investigated, and didn’t find any hate speech. Just some dumb jokes. I’m talking they have posts with the N word right on the front page. So disgusting.

Raddle, Discuit, Flingup, etc

I’ve thought about being compassionate with these people, but the moment you get called a jewish slur or the n word, all compassion kinda goes out the window.

mbin and kbin are both top notch sites.

Not a troll, but ok

Redditor for redditor

I didn’t wait long enough before posting in a subreddit.

He’s not an anarchist, per se, but Noam Chomsky is always good to read. I heard Neal Stephenson’s book The Diamond Age is about anarchy? As well as Kim Stanley Robinson’s book Red Planet. Sadly, those are the only two I am aware of!

To my knowledge, on The Convo Couch, they treated the guest with respect and as an informed source on the topic.

Yes. I’m also worried they’re getting fed dogwhistles or right-wing talking points from these people. Danny Haiphong used to be a journalist for Black Agenda Report which is very very left/socialist, and now he’s having alt-right content creators on. Although, to be fair, he was a correspondent with Jimmy Dore, so he was already questionable.
