I have been on reddit for just about 12 years now. Something I’ve noticed over time is just how hateful the place has become. A complete outrage machine. Every single sub became filled with it. I’ve filtered so many subreddits over the last few years, it’s insane. I don’t know enough about this place to be sure, but I do hope it doesn’t become the same type of echo chamber of anger.

    Umm… and most of the Lemmy instances are nearly as open? For example, Lemmy.ml bans:

    1. Criticism of China or Russia
    2. Discussion of the war in Ukraine

    I’ve seen the mods over there lay a heavy hand at anyone who tries to talk about or discuss these topics.

    Also, for good reasons, most of the mainstream Lemmy instances do not have any of the “rauchy” communities that Reddit has.

      Was pretty easy to prove 2 is bullshit…

      https://lemmy.ml/search?q=Ukraine&type=All&listingType=Local&page=1&sort=TopAll

      So I’m assuming 1 is as well

      Quick edit:

      Yeah, your post history makes it pretty obvious…

      Complaining about “normies”, calling everyone you disagree with “tankies”, and complaining about how people won’t date you…

      Unfortunately in addition to people who choose to leave reddit, Lemmy also has the people ip banned from reddit

        Perhaps they changed that rule. But I’ve seen it before. Just too lazy to link the post the mods over there ended up locking.

        And also no need to judge people from their post history. Thought people were nice here? Guess I was wrong, this is the Internet after all.

          Yeah, thats another huuuuuuge red flag. Getting upset that people judge you for your words/actions.

          Thought people were nice here? Guess I was wrong, this is the Internet after all.

          I wonder how many times people have linked this to you

              It works without telling someone.

              Although if it wasn’t already clear you were a troll, that would have done it.

        The developers behind Lemmy are known tankies too. But they are not super vocal about it.

        Lemmy is full of them. So far left, Marx is right.

        Its kinda annoying, theres like three conservatives on here.
