Even if I would agree with your principles, this kind of comment is what is tiring for moderators to deal with at scale.

I mean, if you wanted to be in the literal anarchist social media network structure and not see people hating billionaires/politicians/nazis, why did you come here in the first place?

The entire concept of the Fediverse is anarchist. Of course anti-capitalists at large would be on it, because the capitalists are all over every other social media network. And besides, Tumblr constantly tells billionaires/politicians to die despite being corporate-run social media and literally nothing comes out of it.

You have your reasons. That doesn't mean that all other users here have the same reasons like you. Other users may have different reasons.

Sure, but to me it's like someone wandering into a pride parade and getting offended at the fact there's leather daddies there.

And yet, it was created by communists, and populated with all sorts of people, socialists, anarchists, liberals, communists, libertarians, punks (particularly of the solar variety), ai/crypto bros and more

There are very clearly lots of people here who don't already share your views, and who are here for different reasons, and the antagonistic, wildly presumptive way you're voicing your perspective just guarantees that exactly zero people come to see your perspective better.

As someone who at least largely identifies with anarchism, please stop being a dick, you're doing a disservice to the humans you share this space with, and the causes you care about simultaneously. This platform is not exclusively yours just because you identify with its structure for political reasons.

Dude, this is exactly what you are doing. You have wandered into the fediverse that welcomes everybody and you are upset that not everybody agrees with you on everything and that justifies you being a dick. You are exactly the thing you are hating on in your head canon self righteous hero narrative.

Take this moment to reflect on your first instinctual mental response. Is it "but that's because I'm right"? Think about this and what it implies.

You can be a rebel and still be a nice person.
