It’s just as much a left-wing echo chamber as Truth Social is a right-wing one - and that’s a problem in both cases. Some might say it’s fine because we’re on the right side of history and they’re not, or something along those lines - but the people on Truth Social think the exact same thing. No one’s views ever change that way.

There is also a dearth of cannibalistic viewpoints here. And Zoroastrians are woefully underrepresented.

I don't come here to change my views (though it happens from time to time), and neither do they. I'm not ignorant of their thoughts; I'm inundated with them every day. I don't need to interact with assholes here. I don't want to come here and watch people scream back and forth at each other, and I definitely am not interested in participating—there is a reason I've left other social media.

Zoroastrians

Zoroastrians for the win. I never thought I'd see that word mentioned on here!

Saw a documentary on them ages ago and they've always stuck with me for some reason.
