Comment on we need more users
Jerkface@lemmy.world 1 day agoFully agree. Its user base is self selecting for the people who are most easily fed up with the mainstream platforms (i.e. Reddit). It seems like the most eager to jump ship set up camp first and it has resulted in an extremely sanctimonious community. They don’t want more users. They want everyone to be exactly like them.

Which wasn’t the case early on, from my experience. Instead, when Lemmy had its first big boom it was filled with people looking for a non-toxic, real conversation. I still find that to be the case in replies, but my front page tends to be filled with stories where commenters are dissimilar to Reddit, less intellectual responses and more edgy hyperbole.
Seriously though, the people responding to political posts with thinly veiled calls to harm or kill political leaders need to be banned on the spot. Absolutely intolerable.

i noticed alot of the political posts has subtle tankie infilitration in it, try to stir shit to cause drama, because thier own instances isnt getting traffic because its been defederate, they often hide the purpose of the post , under the guise “the other opinion”
