At least on the communities i follow. Every so often I come across a thread where i recognize most of the users there even in the big communities with over 30k members and I haven't even been on lemmy that long.

And most of it was rooted in facts

"COVID vaccinations were effective, but not safe." - ichbinjasokreativ

Also the claim that immigrant workers are "uneducated rapists," and weird nonsense comparing trans people and how "they mutilate their genitals" to circumcizing a baby.

"Facts."

All of this is accurate information. Covid vaccines were widely adopted at the same time as spikes in lung related hospitalization, in covid-negative people. Refugees were advertised to us in europe as being the well-educated middle class of their respective countries, which turned out to be a lie and the offiacial, government issued statistics on violent crime and spicifically sexual crimes showed massive increase since we let millions of them into our country. Also, the fact that mtf trans people need to insert stretching devices to prevent their mutilation wound from closing is true as well. Reality isn't always comfortable.
