@KryptoBlok Poast and DRC users bullied them all off the fediverse.
Part of this is just by nature, you ask five different people who call themselves "Libertarians," what it means to be one and you'll get five different answers.
Just find people who have perspectives you find interesting, or post stuff that makes you laugh; that's the key to enjoying this weird little place we've found ourselves on.
@Indigo @KryptoBlok I don't know. If feels like this side of the Fediverse has become more of a /pol/-tard echo chamber. And it's hard to make libertarian hot-takes without being dogpiled these days.
@Indigo @KryptoBlok 8chan had /liberty/, /monarchy/, and /leftypol/. It wasn't a complete echo chamber. I was pretty active on 8chan, but I mostly browsed /v/ and /tech/. Of course the NatSoc stuff bled into those boards but it wasn't as prevalent as Poast.
>active on /v/ and /tech/
Shit I was probably shitposting in the same threads as you. Also /pol/ was so fucking good on 8ch until after the election. imkamphy's atrocious moderation was so horrid it's a contributing factor to my racism against T*rks.
@Tadano @KryptoBlok @Indigo On /v/, I was mostly on threads related to obscure games, /agdg/ threads (though I never posted any progress), and news threads. Though the latter just became seeing how Luciano and blackpill were going to derail those threads.
@Tadano @KryptoBlok @Indigo
Luciano was actually a guilty pleasure for me. I even checked his Disqus profile every so often just to see what kind of shit he was saying on OAG.
>did you participate in the THQNordic Q&A too?
I did not. I was busy with other things. I saw the thread, but I think it was over by the time I saw it. I wasn't aware of what THQ Nordic provided at the time. I only knew THQ as the company who made all those Nickelodeon games (I know it was technically a different company, but still).
That's just what I've heard that particular phenomenon called before, it could apply to any free-speech oriented site that becomes an echo chamber for ideas deemed unacceptable by the mainstream.
I just tend to just roll with it most of the time whenever Poasties call me a LOLbertarian or Lefties call me a fascist or whatever, diffusing the situation with humor helps too. If someone gets genuinely annoying I just stop replying, thread usually dies relatively quickly.
I'm able to maintain fairly friendly mutual relationships with both legit communists and self proclaimed "NatSocs" on here using that technique; it's especially fun when they fight, because then you can watch the chaos unfold on your dash in real time.
