Raddle is a Central Market of ideas. It is much better than federating with other alt sites because our ideas are limited to what is in the good. Such Free Market of Ideas alternatives like postmill and reddit would cause ideological edgyness as opposed to substantiated ideas that could benefit and corroborate with the overall program. It opposes the acceleration component of the site and therefore any alt federation would not just be incompatible but a spit on the face to the mods. I vehemently oppose such plans for federation and agree with u/ziq and u/emma's assertions

To be honest with you, I find this opinion trash. And I use these harsh tone, because you imply supremacy of your ideas. I strongly dislike this behavior. What about communities where the majority speaks another language, what about those communities that feel so vulnerable that they prefer to have an self organized space, what about those communities that through their historic experience prefer to build communities that share a common identity that was attacked by white colonizers...and so forth?

There isn't much supremacy of ideas as much as system. In the same vein that hegemony controls not out of oppression but out of convenience. Raddle is superior in comparison not just because of the ideas of the mods but the system that is set up and i'm more than happy to conserve on it's present state. Rash and bold moves toward federalizing with other sites will ruin the basic foundations of the systems in place to combat organically the rise of this radical right-wing that has taken hold of much other sites.

On the context of other languages, I'm a polyglot and have posted in multiple languages here before. The mods and the community are open to non-english interpretations.

Second, They are more than welcome to have self-organized spaces. I myself am one of the most controversial writers in this site yet I myself have not been banned because of the level of sheer freedom of speech, information and assemblage found in Raddle found no other site else. And although me u/ziq and a few other mods but heads every so moons, they still allow me on this site considering my recent content.

Lastly, As a Central Market of Ideas, Raddle is not an oppressive entity and does not stop the creation of native communities, it is however in the best interest of the consensus to follow anarchist values as to prevent communal anti-colonial or post-colonialism to turn into Nationalism and eventually statist and fascist bigotry against all other people.
