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.
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 worships NATO and Ukraine. Zelensky last year paid homage to a dead Nazi, and last month with Canada paid homage to another dead Nazi. They simp and thirst for blood so much, that last year there was a post of snowfall picture in Moscow. There were over 400 comments, with about 380 of them removed for asking for nuclear radioactive rain, Holocaust, nukes, genocide, famine and what not.
Anything to the left of supporting Ukraine/NATO is left wing communist narrative to predditors. Their demographics is over 80% US+Canada+WesternEurope.

This. I have much more quality discussions here than I ever did on Reddit. Not sure wtf they are on about.

~~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.
I am sorry I misread your post and thought you talked about lemmy… Haven’t been to Reddit in ages…
Nevermind my question then.
Was there an actual video of the shooting?
