Occasionally; I check out some of my subbed places for new posts. I also go on Reddit unironically ever so often. I was demographically insular and in a political bubble for most of my voting life and one of the things it got me was eventually accepting stuff like Trans without much skepticism, because it was "progressive", supporting people/things the LGB apparently supported(even though I didn't understand it at all), and sticking it to the cons.

I developed some useful critical thinking skills over the years so I'm not too worried about Saidit's more naughty extremist influences. Which is why I can now read all manner of religious scripture and ideological manifestos for entertainment(have you heard of the diyu?).

In general though, this site is not remotely big enough to scratch my itch for varied viewpoints. I usually need to reach far beyond into some very controversial places.
