I was a long time lurker of r/cth and it was the only sane place I could go on Reddit to read shit that wasn’t saturated with racist memes about where I was born (China). Like I don’t even live there and haven’t for decades but fuck me is it wearying to see sOCiAl CrEDIt SCorE jokes on every fucking thread. Anyway I’m done with Reddit and was hanging around general lemmy instances and found y’all through the federation noise. I guess this post was kind of pointless but I’m just happy this community is still around.

Love & peace x

I started following this site from the beginning, but somewhere along the way I just sorta lost interest. The content wasn't that engaging too me after a while. I remember it as being mostly dunking on American politics and culture war stuff.

The war in Ukraine brought me back because I wanted an online space that wasn't in complete denial about the Western role in the conflict and/or deeply reactionary. This site didn't let me down.

I much prefer engaging with discussions on (geo)political developments with people I disagree with as a matter of degrees, rather than the rabid liberalism on other sites. Eventhough people on this site still say some pretty silly things sometimes, I take it in good faith. As much as I love me some internet drama, it is a breath of fresh air to be able to talk about current events from a socialist perspective without it devolving into a discussion on which 20th century ideology is the real true socialism.

I had a very similar story. I joined the subreddit as a lurker in the months before it was banned, joined the lifeboat to the website, and I've checked this place out over the last couple years from time to time (I somehow managed to time it so that I always arrived a week or so after a struggle session) but it felt like we were just kinda in standby mode after 2020, like we were waiting for something to happen to latch onto and in the meantime we were just talking about how shit was getting steadily worse. I kept thinking about how it would be great to inject some more genuine discussion about the state of the world particularly outside America but getting started on that seemed like a rather big goal and I wasn't sure if anybody would even be interested in it.

So when the war hit in 2022 and suddenly things were happening again, and everybody was interested in that again and people were coming back to the site because of the tsunami of propaganda and bullshit flooding everywhere else, it was like, oh shit, maybe there is a niche for these kinds of international discussions.

[-] zoe@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

reddit is so american-centered. at least a lot of lemmy instances are hosted whithin the european warm boundaries, so it should feel more welcome-y and diverse (i am already filtering beehaw, duck them and their walled garden)

Good to have a Chinese born comrade here. So sick of fucking English speaking redditors who think they're China experts.

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

Welcome! meow-hug

Fuck racists and fuck the social credit score joke. It was never funny and the FICO score the US has is objectively worse.
