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.
This. I have much more quality discussions here than I ever did on Reddit. Not sure wtf they are on about.
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.
Didn't help that most of us gave up and stuck to /r/onguardforthee
~~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?
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.
Reddit is shit, no question, but what's to the left of supporting Ukraine/NATO in this conflict in your opinion? Supporting Russia? Or something in the middle?
You're thinking to small. The omega galaxy brain move here is supporting Madagaskar.
imagine 300 page conspiracy theory on how the war in Ukraine is benefiting Madagaskar and how all of this is just one step in a ploy to turn every country into a territory of the new Madagaskan Empire
Supporting Russia/China/BRICS. Acknowledging the fact that USA is a far more censorship laced country than Russia or China are. Acknowledging Ukraine is a Nazi militia proxy for USA's war against Russia. Acknowledging that rest of the world will benefit from, and wants to crush the "white man's burden" supremacist trope.
There are two sides to censorship – one being the obvious one that certain content is harder to access (China/Russia), and the other being not so obvious that people are deluded to think they have access to everything, but everything is manipulated and controlled before it exists for access (Anglosphere countries).
As a russian native I don't think you get the point. Let's me speak it like no translator can replicate it.
Тебе, бляди (то есть, шлюхе), снаружи удобно выбирать коняшек в этих скачках в безопасности загнивающего капитализма, и мечтать о коммунизме с нефритовым хуем сзади, да по гланды, и ты почему-то охуенно так сильно игнорируешь, что ты отвергаешь одну центро-правую повестку чтобы подрочить свою бибу на открытую фашню, которая прямо заявляет об уничтожении людей по национальному признаку. Никаких тайных уйгуров, всё открыто, всё домтупно для тебя, слепошара. И люди, сука, гибнут. И они продолжат гибнуть пока фашистская пидрастическая гнида не подавится. И ты зовёшь себя леваком, поддерживая это?
Sorry for going too personal tho. That's not what you are used to. I'm just tired of these arguments.
But better yet: how supporting BRICKS and Russia helps left ideas?
О, дополнительный лулз.
Тяга про-западных блядей к проекциям грехов хозяев на Россию и Китай - это не ново, в конце концов вы, карго-культисты, за хозяевами только повторять и можете, но не перестаёт быть смешным, что псевдолевые дегенераты, искренне считающие себя свободными мыслителями, с пеной у рта защищают центр империализма и главных спонсоров геноцидов, просто потому, что были шокированы реальностью в какой-то момент и не выросли из абстрактного гуманизма.
Nice amount of slurs. Let me guess, you support Navalny?
Pinging @[email protected] to check this one out.
Hello, internet person. Why did you assume I support Navalny of all people? And which of my slur, a part of our usual local banter, offended you? Your google translate could've failed you big time.
I assume you don't even understand what's going there on a local grassroots level. But you can prove me wrong. Bonus points if you say what was wrong or right with Navalny in the early 10s. It feels you have a very particular vision on this person.
tagging in your friend to dogpile on someone just makes you look like an asshole
Not exactly, they can read Russian and are remarkably intelligent geopolitically with a good moral compass. Is that an issue for you?
libs are the same everywhere
I answered this person before, Feel free to join. I'm no lib and I'm living here.
What is going on with this dude? Is there more to it?
I doubt it there's anything more to it, just drank too much lib koolaid.
