My problem here is it being mostly left wing people, I am from the left, but I also want people from the other sides to be here as well, or else the whole thing will get one sided.

I don't care about that so much as the hyper specificity of not only "you have to be on the political left here" but "being to the left isn't enough, you need to be this far left, and hold these specific views on politics, technology, etc.".

What does this means?

There probably are servers that try to be more tolerant or other opinions, but I think social media could be improved by something like in this video. I put a timestamp but TL;DW not just upvote+downvote, yes or no, but more diverse reactions like "partially agree", "offtopic", "you have convinced me", "informative", "misses the point", etc.

So not just up and down, but left, right, diagonal and every which way to have a broader spectrum of human reactions instead of a binary one.

Additionally, add a more structured conversation flow depending on the community. A community for questions looks more like quora, a science community could maybe want options to add sources and have them aggregated in a thread, and so on.

Why would you actively want evil?

There's evil in the left, trust me.
