For me, it’s the lack of diversity in opinions. IDK about you but I’ve only seen people from here and lemmygrad.ml, and nearly everyone is pretty far left. I’m not having a big problem with it, but the site is very, umm, single-minded.

And this mind is particularly hostile to my ideas

    I don’t understand something. What does this have to do with “left-minded” or “right-minded” people?

    I consider myself in the far-left but I include myself in the people who prefer to avoid unnecessary waste of resources and am into digital minimalism.

    I have had a lot of experiences in my still short life of people demanding more shit just to get their things done like at SysAdmin studies and I am finishing them with just ultra-low spec resources in comparison.

    I also like Pascal programming language and philosophy behind it with the sad part of not being able to learn a lot in my environment in comparison with Java, which I studied recently.

      This is a separate spectrum, it only connects with politics in names. I named “technical conservatives” that because they, similar to real-world conservatives, are against change and/or want to go back to the past. A “technical progressive” on the other hand, wants to move and advocates for the newer technologies.

        Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Now I understand.

        To be exact I want progress but to non-stupid options. I want progress being sure of what I am doing at every possible level.
