I think it is still influential and I hope it continues to be. Those kind of communities can build momentum and can help sustain movements and bring more people into the fold.
After how they were treated on Reddit, they have a certain glee about pushing back on the left and especially big tech.
I like to spread the message and reach as many people as I can so think its worth sticking with for now and seeing if they will gradually accept me especially if I lose the newbie status as Sky suggests.
I’m certainly not there to cause trouble or problems.
