  • I don’t think it helps that politics absolutely dominates Lemmy, where Reddit has enough diverse subreddits that you could probably just avoid politics all together.

    It’s much harder to get away from it here. But hopefully, as Lemmy grows then we start to see more and more users in the non political communities and people can have a laugh without people jumping down their throats. People just need to stick to it and give it a good go and help build something great.


  • Anyone disagreeing with leftist ideals EVEN WHILE AGREEING IN SPIRIT is called a Nazi on here all the time. The word is losing all meaning.

    I definitely agree with this. It’s one of the first things I found jarring when I joined Lemmy, that the fascist label is thrown around way too much. Everything that someone doesn’t like or agree with are fascists, or tankies. There seems to be very little nuance.

    I’ve seen people call Lemmy.world, shitjustworks, blahaj and hexbear instances fascist.

    If people keep throwing it around liberally where it doesn’t make any sense then people will stop listening or eye roll when you try and point out when someone is being a literal nazi.

    It’s basically a boy who cried wolf situation.


  • Its infuriating to see the UK falling apart when every country except England voted against Brexit

    Wales also voted in favour of Brexit.

    but somehow their vote counts double or something.

    Englands population is significantly higher than the rest combined, so it’s hardly surprising. I think Yorkshire alone has more than double the population of Northern Ireland.

    Agree with everything else you said though. Hopefully we get to see the day when we get to re-join again!
