It feels like this is very intense here compared to other social media services/protocols.

Why is that?

    Could just be a consequence of a less ideologically diverse user base to start with.

    I’m so upset about (privacy, reddit, corporatism, etc, etc) that I’m prepared to leave my large online social networks for a smaller space on principal is probably a bit of an outlier position to take.

    Not that it’s wrong, but it’s probably something we all agree on. Something out there is so fucked up we refuse to be a part of it on principal, even if we don’t fully agree on what that is.

      Pretty much this. We have strong beliefs. Strong enough to leave a popular, functional platform for ideological reasons.

          I left because all of my accounts were banned for criticizing the government 🤷. I like it here more though. Smaller community makes it easier to be part of the conversation.
