I'm a gay liberal atheist so im practically an alien here and what you people would most likely consider a demon. im assuming white christian male??

According to several political tests I am a (classic) liberal with a bit of nationalism. No, I am not a Nazi as "enlightened" twitter users would instantly write (on most tests just 5-10% off center), I am just not a fan of open borders, uncontrolled immigration and my country losing its identity. I am not a christian, but yeah, I am a white heterosexual male.

Im assuming most people here are so fucking poor they dont even have access to "real" white western culture and some liberal monkey with rainbow clown hair acted so retarded that it pissed you off and now you're here.

I am not wealthy, but I wouldn't say I am poor. I am here, because I believe in free speech and strongly dislike censorship and manipulation which currently overflows on mainstream "social" networks like Reddit, Twitter or YouTube and spills into fields and hobbies like software development, series and gaming. No, no "liberal" pissed me off, I am mostly a lurker (most negative experience was someone calling me evil because I used a clown pepe as a test image in a documentation of my tiny application, that was pretty mild and I am still unsure if it wasn't a troll). I was born into a communism and while I don't remember much from it, I learned a lot about it from older relatives, in school and from documentaries. I dislike how authoritarian are becoming countries in EU and US, so I am here to see how things really are, reading news and opinions of others without filter forced by big tech. My opinion of the future has become a bit more negative, seeing how many "conspiracy" theories turned out to be true, seeing how much information is being twisted if not outright suppressed.

When i look at this site, i see anti vaxxers, retards, christians... no, your alternative is POOR, degenerate, POOR, christian, POOR, dirty, POOR, uneducated right wing republican POOR people culture easily manipulated by corporations by paying someone like ted cruz to lead you.

When it comes to rushed covid vaccines, I think a healthy dose of skepticism is warranted (it's not just "conspiracy theorists", many doctors are recommending to not get the vaccine unless you are in a risk group). By retards I guess you mean trolls, who are everywhere on the internet. This site is virtually moderated by enthusiasts, they are not getting paid and are nowhere near the level of power tripping of reddit moderators (who most likely live from it, and unemployment benefits). I personally prefer this freer model of moderation. As I wrote, I am neither christian, nor uneducated (I hold a degree from STEM university, so at least at something I should be educated), nor republican, nor a fan of corporations (especially big tech), maybe a degenerate (definitions of that word differ a lot)?

Many, if not all, "social" media alternatives have similar problem with content - it's usually dominated by politics, because that's the thing which is being so heavily policed in mainstream. Sadly, more and more things are getting kicked into the politics category (e.g. in large tech and hobby subreddits political posts and comments are very highly upvoted and removed as off topic only if they support the "wrong" side). I don't know a solution for it (while I was on Ruqqus I tried to foster few non-political guilds without success, here I am not posting much, but I try to share non-political stuff every now and then). Maybe as more "normies" are fed up with censorship on mainstream platforms and start trying alternatives, hobby, tech and other non-political subs could start to grow?
