Actually found a couple of normal people for once
(lemmygrad.ml)
Like, I’m not asking for people to like our instance and become communists overnight or even stop calling us tankies, but these are two of the few I’ve seen that will admit they like at least certain aspects and that we aren’t soulless bots or propagandists out to eat your children or something like that. Covered their names out of respect for not being deranged like so many other people on lemmy.ml and especially .world
(Also glad someone appreciates our nazi dunking)
What was the original post complaining about?
Some dude went on r/redditalternatives and was whining about how mean and unfriendly people are on lemmy, which is for sure a problem with him lol
Before the Reddit exodus, lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml were some of the most wholesome online spaces I experienced. It was like a breath of fresh air and I felt a good sense of community and friendliness here. Now many toxic people jumped to this side of the fediverse, especially on lemmy.ml. Lemmygrad.ml is now my main go-to instance as it is the best one that still has managed to retain its camaraderie, even though it took a slight hit.
Really glad we have an application to get in, keeps out 99% of bad faith actor
Just like a communist party, you have to be careful whom you let in. It's better to grow more slowly and organically with trustworthy people.
I tend to find smaller communities to share higher quality content and be more caring and helpful (excluding right-wing/hateful echo chambers). Lemmy before the Reddit exodus reminded me of the experience I had on small, indie game forums.
Libs ruin everything they touch.
