For niche topics yes, Reddit is 1000x the size of the fediverse. In terms of smart commenters and debates, not so much.

I’m not saying there’s a lot, just a lot more than Reddit.

Well, the smart people left Reddit.

Luigi is a hero. But not because he killed a CEO, or anyone. Because he was framed by the government, dragged through the mud, humiliated publicly, and held his head high standing 10 feet tall. Not guilty plea is nothing less than I expected. We should all take note of his example. They can’t beat us all if we resist.

I was at that bar too, great guy. I’ll testify under oath.

I’m only being a little snarky. Just because they’re defederated doesn’t mean you can’t go there if you agree with their opinions. Censorship would be “you’re under arrest”, not “I’m walking away”.

Really? I’ve seen Lemmings are much more competent, way higher debate ability, far less disinformation. Also I’ve seen this 10x so far in a month: “sorry, you’re right”. Almost never saw that on Reddit. And I’ve had to say it many times too.

Hey sounds like you should use feddit.uk as your main and share your opinion there where it will be received.

Not true and it misses the point. Infant mortality was never over 50% and women aren’t having significantly fewer children because of it. It’s become impossible to raise even 1 kid for many couples. There is no financial, marital, or familial support anymore. Now that women have a choice via birth control, they aren’t putting up with it.

You still need 2 working parents, few people want to balance a career and children. We’re not designed for it. And their social help, while good for global standards, amounts to a fraction of the cost of having kids. In prehistory a whole village raised children and people barely worked. Social policies help but we need a global structural change.

Especially when you can’t afford their education. Those are the best kind of voters.

It’s important because the rhetoric of “we only want useful people” isn’t true. It’s not just about her, it’s also about false rhetoric.

How so?
