Welcome to Ask Burggit, wanted to get it off the ground and make an initial post, and I was kind of curious to see what people would answer.

How did you hear about Burggit?

While I think more general purpose communities would be awesome, we honestly should not care what these people think of us. They've already got the narrative in their heads that we're a skinhead nazi instance when that's far from the case. It does not matter how much we try to prove to them we aren't one. The guys on r/RedditAlternatives painted me as a right winger, then a fascist, then settled on libertarian.

They did the thing that average redditors do and dug through my profile and found one little meme of me making fun of the WEF and painted me as a horrible person based on that. It was quite funny to watch them short circuit and try to pidgeonhole me into an ideology, though. I personally hate both political parties with a passion and think libertarians are the vegetarians of politics who refuse to shut the hell up. So they got it all completely wrong.
