@anemone I would, but from what I can tell, you have absolutely no control of what culture your community turns out to be unless you enforce it through moderation.

6. discord, generally aggressively-moderated secret clubs with a specific focus
7. poorly-moderated game chat that's not even intended to support a community
8. #7 with a lone moderator on a powertrip

Modern online communities can be either one of these five cultures and it sucks:

1. Big-Tech walled gardens for "normies" where algorithms and bots influence how everyone is supposed to think
2. Neocon, Q-tard, and MAGA-tard echo chambers that are most likely just honeypots for tech-illiterate boomers and use APIs from Big-Tech, despite allegedly being meant to break free from the likes of Facebook, Amazon, and Google
3. Tech-bro lolbert echo-chambers where people talk about how Web 3, blockchain, and <insert integrated cryptocurrency that probably isn't private here> is going to save the world for real this time
4. Extreme far-left, anti-capitalist SJW communities that consider words like "crazy", "lame", and "dumb" as "ableist slurs", and end up cancelling each other.
5. Anime avatar shitposters who post anime lewds, wojaks, and variants of copypastas from /pol/

If you don't feel like you belong in any of these cultures then there isn't a place on the Internet for you, I guess.

Recently, President Joe Biden signed the REPO Act into law. It allows the US government to seize frozen Russian state assets and transfer the funds to Ukraine. #economy

Nullification in 1 Minute: How to Stop Unconstitutional Laws
Thomas Jefferson was right: Nullification is the rightful remedy to ALL unconstitutional acts.

But in order to really understand what nullification is, we first have to understand what it isn’t. https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/1661494368395071489

Worked on the credits screen. I switched to a completely different format for the file. I also included my "company" logo at the end.

@burner Include advanced randomization and it will be harder to write a walkthrough.

We all know and love broccoli but generally overlook another member of the Brassica family that deserves some time in the spotlight. #diet #nutrition #health

@icedquinn Normally, said posts are on Minds, which has a slightly different culture, but still.

Good morning, the fact that this couple reforested thousands of acres in less than 20 years renders everything linkola and other eco-dorks said invalid.

"While you were chopping hands, I planted trees. While you were being emo in Finland, I planted trees. While you wrote manifestos, I planted trees. And now while your society is enjoying more oxygen and animals, you dare to ask me for help?"
