It’s one thing to have differing views, but I’ve seen enough attempted reddit migrations to be relieved that the popular communities in the fediverse so far haven’t been about crazy racist stuff or other extreme right bullshit.

I am also glad that I’m getting away from reddit’s general political shitposting, which was more left leaning. You couldn’t have any proper discourse on there, and even I with my generally more left leaning views recognized that.

Wasn't it spun off/got popular because fatpeoplehate or something got banned? It was just a hole for shit crawl towards to for their freeze peach.

Yeah, that was the explicit event that set things off, so it's hardly surprising it went the way it did.

I'm surprised there isn't a fat people hate here. They got all sorts of politics from that group.

It probably exists in some obscure instance somewhere. I don't like that kind of content though, so I won't be looking for it and will be blocking it if it ever shows up in my feed.

Haha, I remember that Reddit episode. Yes, fatpeoplehate getting clubbed created the first wave of filth wandering off. Banning r/incels and r/pizzagate and the other nonsense around qanon helped Reddit shed off some more.
