Yep - Reddit is unfortunately now where the simpletons hang out. This is far better, you can have intelligent debates
There isn't really much difference between here and Reddit. Especially on political topics, you get the same tired and defeated arguments and opinions over and over again.
The people and LLMs that use this website are as numb-skulled, illiterate, and misanthropic as the people and LLMs that use reddit; In fact, these are the same people and the same LLMs.
But with every redditor that moves here the difference is getting smaller.
