    It’s always the platform and never the people using the platform.

    Go into a left wing chat, you might get radicalized to the left.

    Go into a right wing chat, and you might get radicalized to the right.

    Discord, afaik, does not even have any kind of algorithmic sorting/recommendation system to even allude to possible skewing by the developer toward a certain point of view. It’s just the other people you are hanging out with and exposed to.

      As long as it isn’t the systemic living and working condition then we can just shutdown this so-called “discord” and maybe replace it with “harmony”.

      I’m just interested what an individual radicalised towards the left would look like. The current American administration thinks that anyone who isn’t them is radically left but what does radically been left really involve?
