Slightly more political now, I feel like there used to be a lot more learning and sharing of culture. We did have some other oddballs though - flossdaily, Unidan, voilentacrez - not sure we have as much of that on the fediverse…at least not those that reach the front pages.

    I remember reddit being pretty political 20 years ago, too. It’s a lot more left-leaning here, though.

    the politics was less extremist though. it was most libertarians being mad about stuff not being free enough, but generally being agreeable about most other stuff. libertarians weren't calling to kill people over political differences, just telling them they were naive for trusting the government.

    the world hadn't yet been taken over by identity politics and the idea everyone is systematically oppressed and that perceived oppression justifies oppression against others.
