Too many didn't seem to drop their own internal Reddit before coming to Lemmy. brainworms

    I still check the hobby and city subs that are relevant to me and I've noticed r/all has become a reactionary mess. Specifically noticed a pattern of hatred for climate change activism and support of vigilante or police suppression of these movements. I'm not sure if regular libs have been migrating to Lemmy leaving only the worst posters or if they are just becoming shittier.

    Oh it is pretty clear now libs were never going to actually support real climate activism in the long run, anything that actualy threatens to disrupt their comfortable lives and treats.

    I think also its just the fact any real climate action is inherently against the liberal democracy that continues to fail despite constantly promising e.g all the climate accords. The libs will naturally see protests against this inaction as a protest against democracy therefore everyone will be declared eco-fascists/tankies or worse.

    They don't have to necessarily migrate to Lemmy. There's plenty of other social media sites. My guess is most people who are fed up with Reddit won't bother with a shitty Reddit clone but move on to a different social media.
