A place where you can rant to your heart's content.
Rules :
- Follow all of Lemmy code of conduct.
- Be respectful to others, even if they're the subject of your rant. Realize that you can be angry at someone without denigrating them.
- Keep it on Topic. Memes about ranting are allowed for now, but will be banned if they start to become more prevalent than actual rants.

Need more bait posts like this to help expand my blocklist, just got so many. Thanks OP!
We wouldn't want you to be exposed to any viewpoints outside the Western propaganda cannon, that would be too much intellectual effort
Yeah cause .ml and .hexbear are toootally not propaganda echo chambers.
"no guys it's totally not an echo chamber, we just ban and/or relentlessly attempt to troll anyone with a differing opinion than ours!"
I'd say it's an impressive level of cognitive dissonance, but then, you'd already have to have that to believe China is a socialist utopia. Really it's just Tuesday for them.
I said it elsewhere, but a space where the dominant opinion is fringe among the general population is not really an echo chamber, while one where the space aligns with the dominant views and bans dissenting views is. You can't avoid engaging with the dominant ideas of society.
Secondly, I have never seen anyone say the PRC is a socialist "utopia." It's socialist, yes, but not a utopia. Marxism is anti-utopian.
