If your first instinct as a westerner is to criticize and lecture 3rd world communist movements, instead of learning from their successes, then you have internalized the patronizing arrogance of the colonial system you claim to oppose.

I don't know why they even left Reddit. Were they really that mad about app development?
Depends which wave of newcomers. Some in more recent migrations just got banned for criticizing musk or endorsing Luigism, which is pretty milquetoast stuff any old lib can do.
Reddit is not even "liberal" anymore. The people on the conservative sub will say that it is but its been shifting rightward for years. There are a lot of people getting permad over things that in the past would have had broad agreement.
It's shifting from center "left" to libertarian right to match up with the ceo, and pretty soon will just be as bad as Twitter
Ex Can't be critical of musk or any of his terrible products, that earns a ban
reddit already censored all the times I said "elongated muskrat"
I am not only on .world (actually started out there and moved over here), but yeah, for me that was the last straw. That official app is just an affront.
Most of us have started from the default programming. I didn't get a lot of what I get today when I moved from Reddit. I know it can feel shitty to keep repeating the same things and make the same arguments over and over again but that's the process of teaching.
For what it's worth, it's important to have ways to do this efficiently, like linking to other resources or having copypastas. Otherwise the infinite influx of ignorant noobs will eventually cause burnout or just waste too much time.
Yep, seems over time stances do change.
