      I thought Lemmy was different than Reddit. I’m not mad, just disappointed.

        It is the internet, why did you think it would be different?

        Still the same people show up.

          Because it’s the internet, and different communities exist in different places. I watched Reddit deteriorate into a far-left cesspool like many others, and hoped this would be a place where talking to other people and having discussions is encouraged. More so, I thought this would be a place where delegating your political opposition as ‘subhumans’ would be countered the way it should be.

            Reddit is a right wing cesspool owned and operated by a right wing ghoul. I have no idea what you’re talking about. Some righties might get banned for saying “WE MUST KILL THE N*****S!”; the rest get banned for saying we have to defend ourselves against those people.

              I assume you don’t use it then. I still do, but I’m trying to get away from it. What you just said is completely inaccurate, but that’s understandable if you don’t frequent the site. I have only seen that kind of language used on 4chan.

                I do, and I have. I can only assume that your feed fits your chosen narrative. The difference is that in the past year posters are being allowed to say what I have been banned for several times. They’re seeing that I was right all along, I suppose.

                And its the same with Facebook. Fascists constantly claim that it’s “leftist” but I would spend weeks having to bat down nonstop right wing and christian propaganda and I assure you that NONE of it was justified to be put in my face.

                  I can only assume that your feed fits your chosen narrative.

                  So what does that say about your feed, if you’re seeing the kind of things you state you’re seeing?

                    Its not from my feed, it’s from real life observation. You should go outside more.

            Reddit deteriorate into a far-left

            I didn’t know Trump was far-left

              You’re quoting my sentence, yet responding with something completely different than what I said. Why?

              If you think Trump is popular on Reddit, spend about 5 minutes browsing the site on any day of the week. That’s blatantly false.
