I deleted my Reddit account some months ago. But if I knew how much toxic is Lemmy becoming into, I wouldn't come here either. Because right now I can't tell the difference between Reddit and Lemmy, to be honest.
I actually thought Reddit was less toxic than Lemmy. I love you guys, but the tankie propaganda and tankie brigading really drives me nuts.
I deleted my Kbin account because of that. And I'm considering doing the same thing with my Lemmy accounts.
I think the answer is to move to an instance that's at least banning hexbear, if nothing else.
An instance that bans both hexbear and lemmygrad. But it's useless when it federates with an instance that also federates with one or both of them, so the problem still stands.
If youre talking in a community on an instance thats still federated with one of them you still don't see their posts
Each instance stores its own copy of a post for its site members to view
Some threads in lemmy.ml when looked at from lemmy.world have a bunch of comments not visible due to this
Thank you for the feedback. Still, brigading and harassing are allowed awful behaviours, and it seems that moderators/administrators do nothing against that.
Then I guess that, while you don't log in and you delete that page from your browser history, it's something at least.
