Am I the only one who gets bunch of posts from leftist and even communist subs/circlejerks in their feed? It’s kinda weird to see genzedong and similar popping up in hot/rising feed. This just hopefully some of the growing pains of a new platform.

    Unfortunately it seems really common for any new social media platform to lean way too hard into wither the far left or right, instead of finding a middle ground where a wider range of political views can coexist.

    But hey, if we had to pick one extreme, then far left is a lot better than the far right nazi apps that crop up a lot.

        Are we really still “both siding” this?

        You have one side stating that the current social and economic systems cause a lot of people to suffer and die in poverty - maybe we could change the those systems so that the world becomes more fair and fewer people suffer.

        While the other side basically says: people we don’t like shouldn’t exist. Let’s make their lives more miserable.

        And you think those two positions are the same?
