I’ve never commented here before, but this community really does have a weird vibe. Like, is it not based a comedy podcast? What am I missing? Feel like everyone here is weirdly serious and a little overly sensitive.

It's primarily a shitposting board for communists / anarchists / Marxism / left unity in general, but also hosts a lot of book clubs (Das Kapital being the most active atm) and serious discussion in the news mega.

People jumped on your post because it was more or less indistinguishable from one of the many right wingers who find their way here and the site culture towards that is to be extremely abrasive with mockery. Don't feel to bad about the replies, it has happened to pretty much everyone here and being from a different instance people are going to be extra quick on the assumption that you actually meant it

The culture here is pretty strong and unique so it's probably confusing as shit to outsiders, but is actually quite comfy once you get used to the flow

Well shit, I’ll keep that in mind. Appreciate the response. I’m definitely not a rightoid lol. I used to post on the old Reddit sub before it got banned. Figured this place was more or less the same, but it does seem noticeably different. I’ll try to lurk more before commenting again.

apologies for going hard, we just love to dunk and we're having ongoing struggle sessions about how cringe it is/isn't for our whiteboy userbase to post about hating crackers so much

honestly, it's just that users of other instances so often wander in and post unhinged racist or transphobic shit so the "@reddthat.com" probably set everyone off

We're actually a community about the drug lord chapo, not the podcast chapo
