I’m starting to see this. Over on Mastodon I’m starting to get devisive pro-Reform stuff in my feed. Often it’s someone boosting (though not sure why) a video from a pro-Farage account and making a silly comment about it. The local instance I’m in is nice and friendly - and I don’t want the arrival of people who just want to stir up things. We do politics there and seems left-leaning but it’s courteous. Occasionally a tone deaf elephant will thunder through and then move instances when they realise we don’t like the being nasty stuff.

The culture wars have reached the fediverse, and it’s making me less happy to be here. I don’t want to hang out in places where people use slurs and insults, even if they’re not aimed at me. I’m seeing more casual misogyny/misandry, more casual use of the r**** slur, more perfectionist gatekeeping, more assumptions, and just less good-faith comments in general.
I’d advertise, but I’m starting to look for an alternative to lemmy.

I haven’t seen any slurs in my feed, maybe jump instances?

i smell bots, and tankie infiltration into the rest of limit, since the triad is defederate, thier members are trying to branch out into other communities.

Stop, stop it for a second. “Tankie”? It’s probably just people with different ideas than yours. I’d toy don’t like to read what they have to say, block them, but phrase stop calling collective demeaning names to artificial groups of people.

Tankies are the communists who scream and harass anyone who isn’t communist like them.

I’ve been called a tankie several times only because my account is in lemmy.ml and I sympathyze with some communist ideas. Granted, these are some fundamental or radical ideas.

pretty much. i have been here for over two years. in the past few months it’s become more and more frustrating and i’m getting harassed/attacked/banned, always from bad faith actors that whose grade school reasoning is ‘i know you are but what am i?!’ type justifications.
