I have been on reddit for just about 12 years now. Something I've noticed over time is just how hateful the place has become. A complete outrage machine. Every single sub became filled with it. I've filtered so many subreddits over the last few years, it's insane. I don't know enough about this place to be sure, but I do hope it doesn't become the same type of echo chamber of anger.

Umm... and most of the Lemmy instances are nearly as open? For example, Lemmy.ml bans:

  1. Criticism of China or Russia
  2. Discussion of the war in Ukraine

I've seen the mods over there lay a heavy hand at anyone who tries to talk about or discuss these topics.

Also, for good reasons, most of the mainstream Lemmy instances do not have any of the "rauchy" communities that Reddit has.

Was pretty easy to prove 2 is bullshit...

https://lemmy.ml/search?q=Ukraine&type=All&listingType=Local&page=1&sort=TopAll

So I'm assuming 1 is as well

Quick edit:

Yeah, your post history makes it pretty obvious...

Complaining about "normies", calling everyone you disagree with "tankies", and complaining about how people won't date you...

Unfortunately in addition to people who choose to leave reddit, Lemmy also has the people ip banned from reddit

Oh god, the other primary Lemmy instance is run by tankies? Yikes.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.
