Hello! Yet another reddit refugee.

I am concerned about privacy, and when I joined reddit it was kind of just a large forum with a wide range of subjects. I always avoided insta, facebook, youtube, and more. I switched to open source software almost exclusively (except whatsapp because all my friends use it) and when iOS 14 came out and people found out that the reddit app was listening to phone microphones, that was the straw that broke the camel's back.

The rest of the world seems to be going in one direction and I feel like I'm drifting in the opposite direction.

So, here I am.

Hiya everyone!

Edit: Also, even though I am a lefty, I don't want to get stuck in confirmation bias, so it's good that I see other fellow human beings here despite the fact that I disagree with them.

Also, even though I am a lefty

you wont have an issue, this place is pretty accepting of all points of view. dont get discouraged if someone barks, it will eventually happen.

and vise versa

Hello. Fellow lefty here, disillusioned with the conformity of thought that's been making the rounds through, well, many communities. Welcome!

I haven't used Reddit in a long time but after wandering over there, it just seems like yet another social media site where people do nothing but bitch - at each other, and about everything. Sure there are a few funny things here and there, but now that I've had too much free time, I have noticed that the Internet these days exists just for people to fight.

I miss the days when you could get online and even if people were arguing about something, they would still actually be talking about something interesting or something they were interested in. Maybe the problem now is that nobody has interests and nobody really DOES anything and they take that online. Hell, I was blown away to find out the woman I'm renting a room from actually does crafts, it's been so long since I've lived with somebody who finds something to be engaged in!

Many folks don't understand the nuances of the left, much less the difference between Marxism, socialism, and communism. But many do. Stay strong and play long.
