On the subs I visited on reddit I've encountered virtually no fascists. I don't need to discuss politics all day and even then the takes were way less extreme than on here.
It might be difficult to imagine for some of the zealots on Lemmy but I don't want to be stuffed to the brim with Chinese and Russian propaganda. I don't need to hear how bad the west is and how it has to burn, die, whatever. I don't care how superior the communist ideology is and why liberals are the root of evil.
It literally reads like a bunch of absolute idiots and edge lords thriving in their bubbles, be it hexbear, chapo stuff, political memes, etc.
Agreed. During the pandemic, I adopted a policy of unsubbing to any subreddit that made me angry. Usually this came in the form of people bringing up trump/capitalism/whatever out of completely nowhere. luckily the Beehaw people seem to be pretty good about actually having conversations and not just devolving into mocking trump every second. But whenever I venture into some of the other instances, I see some of Lemmy's true colors. Chronically online people completely out of touch with reality kinda run shit around here.
