The dumpster behind Domino's has some pepperoni slices in it. The other dumpsters pale in comparison with their offerings

Ultimately, we choose what we consume. Do I want a dumpster with pepperoni or not? I'm taking the pepperoni one. I don't get the moral highground of people without alternatives.

My point is: why are you choosing to consume from a dumpster at all?

My choices are as follows:

Meta vs. X, I choose X

Reddit vs. Hackernews, I choose Hackernews

I couldn't say why I choose either, I guess it's a thirst for content and ultimately, there's a visceral choice that I make that results in X / Hackernews as opposed to Meta / Reddit.

There are many more options out there than these few. But if you are enjoying your choices, then more power to you for using them

How about providing a top 3 of the better choices out there instead of making a generic comment? I would love to find a better choice.

Ok. What are you interested in?
Re:X Has Become a 'Global Sewer,' Mayor of Paris Says by ThalesX on Tuesday November 28, 2023 @03:28PM (#38450821)
Politicians, scientists, entrepreneurs, sharing thoughts, and a place for discussion with anons regarding those thoughts. Also memes.

I found a lot of sites that cater towards talking about politicians and science. These ones appear to be somewhat active:

  Politics / Politicians
  - https://debatepolitics.com/
  - https://defendingthetruth.com/
  - https://www.houseofpolitics.com/
  - https://politicalhotwire.com/
  - https://www.politicsforum.org/forum/

  Science / Scientists
  - https://www.scienceforums.net/
  - https://thescienceforum.org/
  - https://www.physicsforums.com/
  - https://www.thenakedscientists.com/forum/
  - https://forum.cosmoquest.org/
Any decent online community will also have its share of memes. They are inevitable

Let me know if any of these hit the mark for you

Suddenly, no responses as soon as alternatives are provided. You disappoint me, ThalesX
