    It’s honestly depressing. This is very easily the most right-wing/centrist social media site I use. I love the format of reddit, but hate the redditors. I thought Lemmy would be better but it’s not. And it’s not just that people disagree, they call everyone who disagrees a bot/troll/shill etc, and they freak out if you use swear words like… it’s the worst of tone-policing and performative liberalism all in one place.

    I kinda want to start a ShitLemmySays lol, that was easily the best part of Reddit when they were active.

      I want to believe it’s partially to do with the election coming up in the US, but the early infighting cut pretty deep, I don’t know that the political toxicity will ever completely go away.

      Lemmy is right wing/centrist? Lol in what world.

      Lemmy is by far the most tankie social media site.

      Well keep in mind that a lot of Lemmy users (Lemmings? Lemmites? Lemmitors?) are from Reddit now. They are slightly more anticapitalist and anti-corporation, but otherwise, a lot of us are basically Redditors who took over this similar social media site.

        i agree and like @archomrade i too have been depressed at the large number of center-right users on a platform built by tankies for all leftists.

        as a fellow reddit refugee i’ve been wondering if the reddit refugees were the reason for it and, now that someone else agrees, i know i’m part of the problem.

          I still think this place better than Reddit, though. I think a lot of the good users left, even if a majority weren’t politically aligned with original Lemmy. I browse through Reddit front page links when I’m bored at work, but I rarely find good stuff in the comments like I used to. It’s just mean and toxic, or vapid and pointless.
