That said, whenever someone says “left”, I like to make the distinction between rational progressive, radical progressive, or left libertarian. There are few rational progressives on the Fediverse, at least from my experience.
I wouldn't mind that. The problem there is that every topic is mixed with politics and it drains me. I'm already bombarded with political stuff from every angle and when I want to talk about tech I don't want more politics into it.
In that regard even X is better. I can keep it pretty clean by following few people and not looking at the For you page.

Does Reddit still ban people for having discussions in good faith, if they think you’re on the wrong side of the group-think? That was my fate there.
Between the culture and the bots, both of those sites are pretty bad. AI has just made it worse.

Reddit's group think can be a little weird. There was a phase where r/openai was full of OpenAI haters. r/writers was full of people who would dunk on Stephen King and JK Rowling. r/cooking was full of people who think that cheap wine should be used for cooking. That was my frustration with reddit. At least with HN, only half of the community hates AI and NFT.

It's so loud that it's easy to forget that real humans crave real interactions and learning.
