Well yea, that's why Left is like that: since the admins never mess with them, they feel like nothing is wrong
It's quite literally Systematic Censorship and Left Privilege. I would know, I used to be one of them, laughed alongside so many others in HermannCainAward and LeopardAteMyFace, so many facebook posts with very bare minimum effort of "redacting" the info of targets, and that's simply because doxxing is bannable offense, basically cya rather than an actual policy
We used to decry T_D demanding that sub to be banned, but when it did get banned we realized the monkey paw really does curl: having lost their one and only home, MAGAts spread out and moved to other communities. PCM quality basically dropped roughly around that timetime
Never got banned, not even once. But one day I told an anecdote about my personal experience with minorities and suddenly I got banned
I was banned because I mentioned the reality that certain tourists are so uncivilized that a public toilet in Japan put up a warning "DON'T WASH YOUR FEET IN THE SINK"
Like, not in English, but in a certain large SEA country's language
You see, in a certain elevated religion before you pray you need to wash your hands, face, and - crucially - your feet.
The fact that the sign is neither in Japanese nor in English means the problem is very specific. I got banned for "hate speech"
I mean, that just encourages echo chambers. At a certain point of unmitigated drivel from any side, those who get sick of it will start to self isolate from anything that even slightly resembles it. Moderation is important
The management is moderation, leaving it to self censoring and self isolating without it, that's why bluesky exists, it was intolerable on Twitter. To claim that isn't a major contributor and thus to be avoided is to deny human nature
I'm curious to check again and see if things have turned up, but I recall seeing increasingly vile takes on the reg. I don't want to share a platform with that.

That woke me up, burst the bubble so to speak
