Oh men, is it. That is exactly what got me banned from Reddit after 14 years. I’m on old.lemmy.zip and starting to spread out and check other instances and am finding so much delightful stuff! All of it is drama-free and I love it.

Oh, it absolutely is, AND they have many times the population of lemmy, AND they vote, AND they are largely misinformed.
We have an election here on Tuesday, there is only one thing to vote on, a property tax measure to support the local parks measure.
OMG the amount of bad information floating around on this!
You can deprogram some people, but getting people to understand that they are being lied to when they spout nonsense like “ZOMG! Property taxes going up 75%!!!” is a tall hill to climb.
