Yeah, a good part of that was because I stayed out of the right-wing cesspits, while taking far too long to leave the left-wing ones, so most of the cess I got was left cess.

The only exception was PCM (joined when it was merely right-leaning and not particularly PC, rather than the outright hive of scum and villainy it became), and there, it was far from progressive.

Misogynistic shithole my ass. There’s some misogynists there, but my experience of Reddit was that it was progressive and feminist to an extent rivalling Tumblr.

Progressive censors are just as bad as their right-wing counterparts, but live in a delusional world in which whatever they do is right because they’re the ones that do it.

Wait, is it? Switched to Revanced because NP wouldn’t let me.

Yeah. Not those literal words of course, but bitch and whore.

Lemmy.ml has a slur filter that bans words like female dog (derogatory) and prostitute (derogatory).

NewPipe’s great, but it’s less useful because I prefer some features it doesn’t have (like the ability to log in).

Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.

Revanced still costs $0/month.

Yeah, mods don’t like Reddit either.

I’m a mod of a small subreddit, which I have attempted to move to Lemmy, but as I’m not the only mod, the sub is still up and far more active.

I use Revanced, personally, but also have NewPipe installed.

Opposition to gay marriage was fairly common in the early and mid 2010s. It was only legalised 8 years ago in the US, and so, in 2016, it was still a live issue.

Yes. That is political affiliation. You might not share it, but whether same-sex marriage should be legal is absolutely a political question, even if it is now outside the Overton window.

Personally, I’m not sure I support any form of state marriage, but if it exists, it should include same-sex marriage.

I trust America more than China. If some foreign government has to have my data, I’d rather it be America.

Well, yeah. It was the cool new thing, now it isn’t.

I’d like to be that variety of pirate, at least in the older style. Not so much a modern nautical pirate though.

The choice was reopen in protest or get kicked off the mod team, Reddit reopens it, and there’s no protest.

Yeah, the thing about screwing over Redditors is that Reddit started because Digg did something similar. Fucking off to another website is where it all started, and will be where it ends.

1. I’m not American either.
2. The vast majority of countries in the world have copyright.

Now I’m not morally against piracy, pirate away. It’s just illegal.
