I was all for the pro-communist bias, but I do agree it’s an echo chamber that shuts down dissenting opinions. I was banned from a community for criticising China with depth, sadly many communists are wholly incapable of adequately addressing the real failures of China without passing it off as no big deal in an apologetic 1-2 liner at best (before proceeding to write paragraphs about how it’s the US’ fault and how other progressive countries “will be considered reactionary in the future”, or some other dumb shit).

The donations thing seems dumb though. You want to support the dev but not the instance?..weird.
