yeah Reddit has gone to shit now. That's why I am here
You don't honestly think that DHS doesn't know Lemmy exists, do you? If they're monitoring Reddit, you'd have to be a fool to not realize that they're probably here, too.
Let's face it. If you want to be invisible to DHS right now, just find an old article from the daily stormer or something and start posting far left stuff in the comments. This admin is going to go faaaaaaaar out of their way to avoid pissing off the nationalist hate groups that give their stochastic terrorism some real teeth.
DHS! DHS, over here! Oh! Oh! DHS! Look here! DHS! Down here, DHS! Look here! No, not there! Here, look at me! Are you looking?
Fuck you.
Calm down, Doja Cat.
I'd argue it was pretty shit for a long while. The fact that r/conservative with the vile spew they have is still allowed is all you need to understand.
and its consistently on the front page, which started around election year is very red flag. other far right subs try to make it to front page, but they get buried,i used to filter them out.
Lemmy now has its own echo chambers and control freak mods too though.
unlike reddit, they are usually segregated to thier instances, and dont have much effect on other communities if you block them.
But in the Fediverse you always have the option to walk away, join another instance or even host your own.
If it gets too bad, just move on to the next thing.
Internet forums have been a thing since for decades, and they will continue long after Reddit and Lemmy are forgotten
for niche category, like medical, hacking,how to spam earny money social media. news type forums are long gone though.
I find your comment insulting. I dare you to try saying that in my group.
reddit has always had those issues and by today's standard that's the least of their concern.
Likeminded people meeting is bad.
People demanding group think or exclusion is bad.
