Pretty new to the lemmy thing. Learning the do not and safe zones of the federation.
Lemmygrad is a bit of a rabbit hole from the outside view. Like, holy shit. That place got wicked dark super fast.
Lemmygrad started that dark, nothings changed. It's only more noticed now with the half assed Reddit exodus. Problem is many instances are starting to be worse than Reddit ever was, which is petrifying to say.
@random65837 @Wage_slave Oh, Reddit had some truly terrible subs over the years. It feels to me like they only started cleaning up the site pretty recently. There used to be a lot more overlap with 4chan/8chan, and thatβs where many banned subreddits went when booted.
They did, but went from being welcoming to the normal type of toxic users, they went the other way to become politically motivated gatekeepers, called everything that didn't line up with their political narrative "misinformation", and banned any and all the had any type of different opinion. While 100% being OK with people regardless of how toxic they were, as long as anything they said lined up with what they were OK with. Hardly a good situation.
