I don't think it's even necessarily all the same political alignment, so much as it is that we're all united against Reddit and this corporate tomfoolery right now. It won't last forever, but in being united for a common cause, we've sort of achieved world peace lol. I'm a libertarian. I've seen us, republicans, democrats, liberals, conservatives, socialists, and everything in between uniting to discuss technology, bash Reddit, and work to build back our global communication forums. This is the progress in humanity that the internet's creators envisioned. This is unity and peace. It won't last forever, but if we can at least continue to respect each other (while holding different opinions), unite against those who show no respect or dignity, and continue to rebuild together, we have in my opinion bettered humanity for years, hopefully generations to come. Even expecting that this platform won't last forever - none ever will - we have learned through this to not take our open forum and free discussion for granted.

Also there is (as of now) still far less shitposts and low effort commentary. I definitely won't miss the endless circlejerking either.
