I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit. (lemmy.world)

i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.

There are some IMO extreme political beliefs which seem to be considered valid on mainstream instances and communities.

I’ve seen, multiple times, people openly supporting terrorism as a solution to oppression/occupation on Lemmy since I joined.

Edit: sorry Memmy froze for a sec and posted the same comment a bunch of times.

I wanna see you say that to my face or to the face of anyone else who is or knows a victim of terror.

It all depends on whether you consider Mandela are terrorist.
