I was a long time lurker of r/cth and it was the only sane place I could go on Reddit to read shit that wasn’t saturated with racist memes about where I was born (China). Like I don’t even live there and haven’t for decades but fuck me is it wearying to see sOCiAl CrEDIt SCorE jokes on every fucking thread. Anyway I’m done with Reddit and was hanging around general lemmy instances and found y’all through the federation noise. I guess this post was kind of pointless but I’m just happy this community is still around.

I started following this site from the beginning, but somewhere along the way I just sorta lost interest. The content wasn’t that engaging too me after a while. I remember it as being mostly dunking on American politics and culture war stuff.
The war in Ukraine brought me back because I wanted an online space that wasn’t in complete denial about the Western role in the conflict and/or deeply reactionary. This site didn’t let me down.
I much prefer engaging with discussions on (geo)political developments with people I disagree with as a matter of degrees, rather than the rabid liberalism on other sites. Eventhough people on this site still say some pretty silly things sometimes, I take it in good faith. As much as I love me some internet drama, it is a breath of fresh air to be able to talk about current events from a socialist perspective without it devolving into a discussion on which 20th century ideology is the real true socialism.
