They are over here too! A mod on world news on lemmy.ml was saying that Ukraine probably bombed their own people yesterday. Then when evidence came out that it was Russia he deleted his comment and everyone's involvement with the conversation calling him out
Yeah I'm currently browsing everything and filtering out communities I absolutely don't want to see. Unfortunately that's the experience most new users will have here on lemmy too, and think that represents the vibe across the whole platform.
yeah, TONS of furries too. It used to be you could just block lemmynsfw.com (and have an alt account just for that instance if you like) but now new communities are popping up on random instances. I never know whether to block the whole instance or just the community every time.
Lemmy is worse on one hand and better on the other. You could be banned from an instance for much more spurious reasons than you'll be banned on Reddit, but you then you can just move to another instance.
On Reddit I've actually had to self-censor my comments to avoid them from being nuked from orbit by Automoderator. I legit can't use words like 'incel', 'OnlyFans', 'e-girl', 'Trump' etc on most subreddits. It actually feels liberating to be able to speak my mind here.
Idk about much more spurious reason, could just be a specific mod thing that you came across on here but not on reddit. I could be wrong but I don't see any reason lemmy would be worse on this metric.
