I'm one of those rare gems who don't fit in anywhere.
Then again, ain't we all?
I'm too liberal for the conservatives, too conservative for the liberals, too extreme for the moderates, too moderate for the extremists. The term "radical centrist" is a tad too radical for my tastes. I can't truly pick a side except my own, but I make a decent "devil's advocate" according to my high school Oral Comm teacher. And I probably have a bit of a messiah complex.
Not of organized religion, nor am I an atheist. Both seem pretentious to me. Rather, I see energy and matter as a fluid force, beyond our silly human concepts of science and religion. Nothing inherently wrong with scientific inquiry or religious observance, I simply refuse to believe the word of any animal can fully be trusted. And we humans are just another animal. We may think ourselves the superior species, but some cats and dogs may feel the same way.
Enough about me though.
My question(s):
Where does Phuks fit in between Rabble and Voat? I like the general format of Reddit-type sites, but the community itself never really appealed to me. Or rather, I never appealed to them, being myself and all. More importantly, how is the censorship/moderation on this site? I know I could just lurk around instead of asking all this, but making an account is easy enough, and this is a much better litmus taste for my purposes. Oops, I mean test. Test, not taste. Heh.
Most importantly of all:
Is this the right place to post this?
EDIT: I think it only polite to explain exactly why something is downvoted. Can't change bad behavior if you don't know what to change, y'know? I'm guessing it's the turnips.
Right place. Normally this sort of post takes place in /s/introductions but this is perfectly fine.
Most people fit in, unless they try to control others then they get rejected pretty quick. Politics are not talked about much, most people here are center-right but everybody's an individual and opinions vary wildly. If you want politics, there's plenty of other better places for that. Browse by /all/ and /all/new (links in top left of page) since there's not a ton of traffic here. Don't be a dick, use common sense.
I'd wager that most of us are more interested in what interests you than your affiliations. Your sexuality or political lean doesn't hold much influence here. If that's all there is to you then you're probably just not that interesting after all.
Welcome to Phuks!
