Well, I think its a good thing you tried to branch out, even if it didn't work out.
Most the "non political" communities appear explicitly political at first glance to me. Like c/food has posts about the "LGBTQ sandwich" and "cracker cuisine" lol. Its going to be impossible to avoid political takes in an explicitly leftist instance.
They just explained that they lacked down votes in their instance. So instead of downvoting, they reply and explain their thought process. I haven't seen anything rude in the replies either.
And what the fuck does "temper your behavior outside your culture" mean? That just sounds like anti immigration bullshit lol.
FYI- I was about to install "I don't care about cookies" when I noticed all the 1 star reviews. People saying its been purchased by Avast and is now data mining.
"I still don't care about cookies" is a community fork, does the same thing but isn't owned by a big company.
Nooo they messed up all the funny colors 😡
