This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It's not just money, it's the fact that leftists tear down other leftists more than they tear down right wing posts

The right doesn't have this problem

Exactly this. And the saddest thing is that it's not even rational criticism, just arbitrary "purity tests". "You are not left enough, go fuck yourself." "Wait, why are there so many people on the right?"

THere's also the fact that our umbrella is so big it contains members that want to see all men dead in a literal sense so...

What are some examples of these "irrational purity tests"?

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

No, it's the money
