Lemmy isn't "too extreme," a very small subset of Lemmings are just fucking insufferable.
…have these people met certain redditors? 🧐
News: People on the internet find out some people on the internet grinds their gears
Tune in at 6 to hear our top story: "Water, is it really wet?". Findings from top scientist may surprise you. 🤔
I'm still figuring out if I can just straight up block people from certain servers
You can with the next Lemmy update (devs say it's coming in a month or so).
Only individually
I think it's just a symptom of "people".
I see Roy I upvote
Meh, both extremes are as insufferable
No, they aren't.
Tankies are mostly just delusional victims of troll farms.
Fascists are... fascists.
Honestly I find it kinda mindblowing how similar lemmygrad and hexbear are to /r/t_d.
HB federated with SJW, a bunch of them raided two posts on SJW's main and management communities, they started insulting the local users, calling them fascists and Nazis, they defederated by pretending they got insulted and called homophobic slurs and their admin called SJW "sh.itsfulla.chuds" and "sh.itholefor.nazis" without noticing the irony...
They're trying their darndest to drag the left into the mud. They're pushing the same rhetoric as trumpers trying to brainwash young people Jordan Peterson style. The Russian government has a vested interest in destabilizing the US and trying to push people to violence and 'revolt' because that would take down the only threat to them. At least most of us aren't so stupid to believe these people are in any way representing the left, the LGBT or minorities. I was looking for an LGBT friendly community and was so saddened to find out what it really was... trying to radicalize vulnerable groups. Shame on them. Fucking shame.
One is obnoxious, the other actively genocidal.
Considering them equally bad is a self report.
So we're just pretending genocides weren't committed by both sides?
No, I meant exactly what I said:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/insufferable
We were federated with them for a couple of days and their constant spam of insults and images makes them insufferable.
Fine, you find obnoxious dorks just as bad as genocidal fascists. I stand corrected.
From a governmental point of view, both extremes are responsible for multiple genocides so I'm not even sure which is which in your comment 🤔
And I'm talking about Lemmy's tankies vs Reddit's alt-right, since that's what the conversation was about in the first place.
Imagine being braindead to the point of thinking "people should have as many rights as possible" and "people I dislike should die" are in some way similar. That's why rightwingers don't belong in society.
Imagine being a fucking idiot ?
Rightwingers don't need to imagine it :)
What are some extreme positions on the left and who is the representative pushing for them?
Stalin was a swell guy / lemmygrad
America moment
Even for the US this is insanely out of touch. But it is kind of sad that one of the main reddit alternatives is even more US-centric than reddit.
We call this the “Centrist pull” to get people to the right.
It’s like the carnival of flaming demon knife throwers insisting that throwing flaming chainsaws at your family every day is “extremism”, and just throwing knives at them is normal.
…libs?
lol fat chance, keep dreaming idiot
Some Lemmings are extremely right. That is the norm on any other social media too. Luckily they were often contained on a specific instance. What I noticed tho is that at least in my german bubble the view is very, very left. That's noticeable especially as the consensus of eg. !ich_iel@feddit.de seems to be extremely pro towards protestors of the last generation, which are often criticised in my real life bubble for their actions as they're seen as too extreme. Could be that my RL bubble is just much more right than I perceive it to be, even after blending out some individuals.
The ich_iel community existed as sub on fuggid too, it was never as left tho. I guess there are much less older and therefore theoretically less tech savvy as well as statistically conservative folks people on Lemmy in general. Conservatives would probably care about new, better platforms anyway.
I feel the same about feddit.de in general. Everytime I stumble across a political topic I am shocked by the consensus on very left opinions there.
I also noticed that there are lots of links to leftist news sites like TAZ.
