It’s also way more progressive, which is something to keep in mind regardless of whether you lean left or right.

Yep, ok

Yes. There aren't many cities like that in Massachusetts.
Edit: I just noticed you said r/Boston. I don't follow that sub so I have no idea, but I assume it's an even worse representation than the actual city of Boston.

I haven't even been to the sub but probably.
Also let's be real this sub isn't a great representation of the state either. Probably closer than r/boston but not ideal.
I would argue that this sub is probably both more liberal and more cynical than the state populace as a whole (which oddly enough probably makes me more comfortable here lol) IT's also very anti-NIMBY which obviously the state itself isn't because NIMBY's wouldn't be as successful if they were.

Of course, and so is this one to an extent. And so is Reddit of reality.

People are pretty jerky in there.

Owe. I wish I had some jerky now that you mention it!

Yeah I kinda like that. Jerky boys still give me chuckles because we all know that guy

Absolutely. Reddit in general is a terrible representation of reality, it is much more male, young, and white than the nation or the world is as a whole.
/r/Boston specifically is also a very negative and cynical place. Not that there aren’t any negative or cynical people in MA IRL, but /r/Boston is way more negative than the people I meet in real life.
