You should have seen the freakouts when GC first moved here and they had some of their beliefs challenged for the first time.

TumblrInAction did the same. That was funny seeing them complain about Holocaust denialism on the front page. Like, guys, that's the whole reason you had to come here, we can say things you're not allowed to elsewhere.

Exactly. Nobody is forcing you to interact with Holocaust deniers. Except that now you have to option to do so, only if you want to.

It's one of the hidden benefits of being exiled, you have you eyes opened to a lot of new possibilities. When you see that only certain narratives are allowed to be considered, it makes you wonder why, and what else is like that.

Also, people are friendlier here than reddit.

Definitely much friendlier than Reddit.

Ew my gosh there are actual nazis here, how to we clear them out? Fumigate?

How about make good arguments if you think people are wrong.
