Really? This is not my impression at all. On Reddit, it was too American sided, but I would rarely read any tankie comments, here itâs inevitable, they will brigade on any subject related to war or American influence. Although top comments and votes seem to be more moderate on Lemmy, youâll consistently find highly upvoted replies with whataboutism, and rationalization or negation of Russian regimesâ crimes.
Reddit was a lot more ban happy. And because it had, and still has, a lot more users, a higher quantity of those users are going to hold radical views. So, youâd say something, it would get down voted to oblivion, a bunch of people would report you, and youâd get banned.
Here, at least, theyâre mostly over on lemmygrad and donât have power over other instances. They come out of the woodwork, but they donât have the same silencing power they had on reddit. And this goes for both sides. âConservativeâ subreddit marks almost every post as âflared users onlyâ. They donât ban you, they just donât let you speak.
It really does feel like this place is more moderate and itâs very refreshing to see.
