  • Is he still the 2nd biggest? At this point, I’m convinced that no respectable leftist can get attention on corpo platforms by design. Being angry and toxic is the only way they can succeed in the algorithm, so even well intentioned creators get warped into worse versions of themselves. Debatelords like Vaush and Destiny succeeded because they’re insufferable assholes at their core, so rolling around in the muck was where they were most at home.


  • Because there is a good chance he is. He was a rising star on the left until a bunch of stuff came to light, and his momentum was halted for a while. I don’t remember the details, but it was enough for allies to walk away and him to step back from being as bold online.

    He had a similar vibe and community to Destiny, only a left libertarian instead of a liberal. I would see him recommended and mentioned in the spaces I used to be in, but I never had any interest in his content. His vibe was so insufferable that he kept me from identifying as libertarian back when I was still uncomfortable with calling myself an anarchist.




  • Maria, just keep doing what you’ve always done. It always brightens my day to see your posts, so even if they don’t get as much love from the broader fediverse, who fucking cares? They have shit taste anyways.

    The real reason I post so much isn’t for being popular, but for keeping the fediverse active. I see it as my sacred duty to make sure there is a new content every day, so people keep coming back for more and maybe decide to post themselves. When people do post more in certain comms, I actually post less because I don’t need to prop them up. Lately I haven’t been as consistent in certain comms because they’ve seen a spike in new posts, and it’s nice to take a breather every once in a while. Comms are healthier when I’m not necessary for their continued existence.

    Basically, you don’t need to be me to contribute to the fediverse. It’s much better if we have a variety of unique voices than if we have 1000 TotallynotJessicas. Just keep being you
