There are a lot of posts on the bird from new or potential new CoSo users saying that we're a left-wing social network.
I think that perception may come from the fact that a lot of new members seem to be of that political leaning, and feature it in their profiles. (See linked post below for my thoughts on this.)
Just to be clear: ALL are welcome here, so long as you are not trolling or supporting the overthrow of democracy. We can't be a place for just one group.
UPDATE: In the last week, some large-follower accounts have spoken out on the other place that they weren't "allowed" to be political here, or something to that extent. I believe the above linked post and others like it are being cited.
That idea is completely false. Reading comprehension matters.
@voltronic The question is, do you confront the disinformation with facts or left them continue to spread misinformation to everyone they can reach through search.
@Zaptrapped @voltronic You do whatever you're motivated to do. I think the reality is many people commenting on #politics feel that anything less than praise and acceptance equals prohibition. They decry the lack of free speech when the free exchange of ideas is exactly what's causing them discomfort.
