I use reddit a lot - I don't think my political affiliation has ever changed

fair

i had one

but i closed it

the place is too far gone for me

What boards do you use?

I am more sympathetic to conservatives than I were before - and have more disdain for the far left than before - but I'm still a liberal

mostly worldnews

same

ok

some r/neutralpolitics

also i need to be very careful when i make my instance because there is this one regressive far left prick that would add my server onto it and then its there permanently on a black list

r/neutralpolitics is top quality stuff

https://github.com/dzuk-mutant/blockchain

not a lot of traffic though

ah

interesting that it doesnt get much traffic

the sever im on is listed on there for not proactively taking down hate speech

do you think people are more likely to go to more partisan boards?

Lang, they have very strict rules on commnets - so each comment takes more time

and people don't shitpost

ok

Id like to look into the effects of social media on ideology for a future vid

Lang you make videos?

plan to

im trying to decide my format still

im thinking of just doing think pieces and research style vids

I think social media might increase your intensity of holding your current position

so it kinda makes you more extreme

but not really shifts you on the spectrum - but anyway that is just hypothesis

not sure

can only speak for my own subjective observation of myself

social media has made me more bitter and drepressed though

Planned vids are Millennials and Self-Censorship, A Case Against #WalkAway, Whats Wrong with Totalitarianism, and now How Social Media Effects Ideology.

Actually theres also the position that you end up changing your position to fit in

Ginga, have you ever done this though?

I have not

I presume some people do, but it's tough to say how prevalent this is

I kinda did back then.

But it was easy. Maybe its not true and they are just pretending.

Now that I think of it.
