Lemmy isn't "too extreme," a very small subset of Lemmings are just fucking insufferable.

    There is a lot of political and other "adult" discourse. Not extreme, but more exhausting for a person wanting memes, gifs, and lols. I imagine the median age here is higher than that of Reddit. Can't confirm, but it certainly conducts itself with less..."juvenility"...or some word.

    I find the political discourse, at least on some topics, very juvenile on Lemmy. You know, screeching about how billionaires aren't people but parasites and need to die, hundreds of upvotes. That's some edgy, frustrated teenager bullshit. Or at least it should be, guess some people never got the memo about inalienable rights, equal treatment, vigilantism and how two wrongs don't make a right.

    Seriously, this thirst for blood is disturbing and if it isn't just venting then, well, look how the French Revolution turned on people. That wasn't very poggers.

    There's also this idea that everybody who isn't 100% on board needs to be defooed and marked, preferably as a fascist. Which plays into the hands of the actual fascists because the non-fascists hate each other too much to collectively tell them to fuck off, despite their differences.

    There, that's my venting done for today.

    Some Lemmings are extremely right. That is the norm on any other social media too. Luckily they were often contained on a specific instance. What I noticed tho is that at least in my german bubble the view is very, very left. That's noticeable especially as the consensus of eg. !ich_iel@feddit.de seems to be extremely pro towards protestors of the last generation, which are often criticised in my real life bubble for their actions as they're seen as too extreme. Could be that my RL bubble is just much more right than I perceive it to be, even after blending out some individuals.
    The ich_iel community existed as sub on fuggid too, it was never as left tho. I guess there are much less older and therefore theoretically less tech savvy as well as statistically conservative folks people on Lemmy in general. Conservatives would probably care about new, better platforms anyway.

    I feel the same about feddit.de in general. Everytime I stumble across a political topic I am shocked by the consensus on very left opinions there.

    I also noticed that there are lots of links to leftist news sites like TAZ.
