    What’s wrong with world? (serious question) I know that ml has tankies and such but I’ve never heard of issues with world.

      It’s got a strong neoliberal bias. In my experience, the users on .world are fairly diverse in opinions and philosophy, but the mods tend to be pro-status quo centrists – with exceptions, of course.

      I recall a mod on their politics community who posted a mod-flaired comment informing us that “the United States is not a racist nation.”

      Some of their policies seem questionable as well, such as blocking piracy communities or disallowing archived versions of paywalled articles. It feels like the sort of thing reddit would have done to appease advertisers.

      I’ll admit I’m biased because I haven’t had the greatest experience with some specific .world mods, one in particular who is fond of calling people “morons” for criticizing Biden. To be fair, I’ve seen another more rational mod remove that particular mod’s comments, but it seems to keep happening anyway.

        My comment quoting the Mueller report got deleted from .world because I was spreading “mis information”.
