This feels like it was written by someone who has never been on Lemmy because that has not been my experience at all.

Reddit is fucking full of bots astroturfing right wing political nonsense and we’re not getting that on Lemmy because those instances are often defederated.

Or, you know, he’s one of those guys who signed up for world when he should have gone to exploding heads.

    I’d say it’s roughly my experience with Lemmy as well tbh.

    There are some good discussions to be had here, but I don’t think they’re necessarily wrong about the issues, just a bit overblown.

    I think Reddit’s far worse in general though. I think it’s gotten particularly worse over the past few years, it’s almost Facebook levels of people looking at stuff just to make themselves angry.

    Half of the /all feed is about obnoxious people and fights these days.

    The r/Canada subreddit was taken over by far right wing mods and astroturfed to all hell with Conservative nonsense and Convoy support. I found myself speaking up more and more there because it was full of homophobic, racist antivaxxers and that is not an exaggeration.

    ~~I don't see those fights you speak of, maybe I managed to avoid them ? Genuinely curious. ~~

    Edit: I am a moron and cannot read. Thought the poster above was talking about Lemmy...

    Half was a ridiculous over exaggeration, but I see so much /r/crazyfuckingvideos and /r/fightporn, /r/imthemaincharacter is another awful subreddit.

    Recently people were getting whipped up about that YouTube prankster who got shot, it was posted a ridiculous number of times.

    It can also depend on the time of day if browsing All or which communities you're in. Lemmy does have a lot of folks who were banned from various subreddits, but they're a minority.

    Reddit is shit, no question, but what's to the left of supporting Ukraine/NATO in this conflict in your opinion? Supporting Russia? Or something in the middle?

    You're thinking to small. The omega galaxy brain move here is supporting Madagaskar.

    imagine 300 page conspiracy theory on how the war in Ukraine is benefiting Madagaskar and how all of this is just one step in a ploy to turn every country into a territory of the new Madagaskan Empire

    As a russian native I don't think you get the point. Let's me speak it like no translator can replicate it.

    Тебе, бляди (то есть, шлюхе), снаружи удобно выбирать коняшек в этих скачках в безопасности загнивающего капитализма, и мечтать о коммунизме с нефритовым хуем сзади, да по гланды, и ты почему-то охуенно так сильно игнорируешь, что ты отвергаешь одну центро-правую повестку чтобы подрочить свою бибу на открытую фашню, которая прямо заявляет об уничтожении людей по национальному признаку. Никаких тайных уйгуров, всё открыто, всё домтупно для тебя, слепошара. И люди, сука, гибнут. И они продолжат гибнуть пока фашистская пидрастическая гнида не подавится. И ты зовёшь себя леваком, поддерживая это?

    Sorry for going too personal tho. That's not what you are used to. I'm just tired of these arguments.

    О, дополнительный лулз.

    Тяга про-западных блядей к проекциям грехов хозяев на Россию и Китай - это не ново, в конце концов вы, карго-культисты, за хозяевами только повторять и можете, но не перестаёт быть смешным, что псевдолевые дегенераты, искренне считающие себя свободными мыслителями, с пеной у рта защищают центр империализма и главных спонсоров геноцидов, просто потому, что были шокированы реальностью в какой-то момент и не выросли из абстрактного гуманизма.

    Hello, internet person. Why did you assume I support Navalny of all people? And which of my slur, a part of our usual local banter, offended you? Your google translate could've failed you big time.

    I assume you don't even understand what's going there on a local grassroots level. But you can prove me wrong. Bonus points if you say what was wrong or right with Navalny in the early 10s. It feels you have a very particular vision on this person.
