Notes -
There's a million other sites suitable for dumping silly internet memes and culture warrior blowhard "jokes." If anything, this site should become a high-effort posting comunity where people make well-thought out text posts. I personally think high-effort satire can be extremely funny when done well, and if we're going to post anything for laughs, it should be longform text posts. Like it or not, this site will likely get quite a bit of overlap with the various dispora of MDE or Deuxrama, but it also has the potential to attract lefties as well. I'm here because I want to be able to write more than a few sentances without geting the "words words words" response. (Sorry I don't know the history of Motte, I just got here from the rdrama crowd. Based on what I've seen so far, it seems like it's a dirtbag left or stupidpol type community.)
Perhaps if the site had a subform that had a serious "nothing but your own OC" rule, I could see it as being suitable.
Nice to see that we're already getting new people. Welcome! Many users, me included, were concerned that migrating from Reddit would make us impossible to find.
If you haven't figured it out yet, the culture war sticky is where most of the discussion happens. The one here seems to be a bit slow at the moment, so you can check out last week's thread on Reddit if you want to get a feel for it. There's also a monthly thread highlighting high-quality contributions – the one for August was posted recently.
As for the members' political views, I don't think "dirtbag left" is very accurate. Many people are more traditionally right-wing, though there are all sorts of viewpoints, including stupidpol-type people and even a few more orthodox leftists – some would probably classify them as "woke", but they're able to participate respectfully and are respected in turn.
There's a lot more to say here. (Maybe we should have an intro section for newcomers?) If you have any questions, ask away!
