Now that a lot of the commotion has subsided I’m just curious to know how y’all are finding the Lemmy experience in general and whether you use it regularly like you did reddit?

There’s a LOT of extremist left wingers but it’s ok because there’s a down arrow and block buttons. Oddly enough I haven’t seen much extremist right wing stuff plus I don’t have to care if someone doesn’t like me here so I’m less concerned about being honest.
The right wingers can’t even move an inch in here, which is refreshing.
I think it’s more likely that the demographic of Internet culture always has tended to lean fairly progressive
It’s no mystery, the natural predator of fascists is communists
You’re welcome
I think a distributed, democratically oriented platform that makes no effort to rank people in a hierarchy or score their performance naturally appeals to a lot of leftists. Can’t say I’ve seen much I would describe as extremist, but I haven’t looked so it seems plausible.
Of course there’s nothing actively stopping right wing instances from spinning up, so I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before one blows up.
