As someone else has stated, reddit was way worse,
The big difference I see is that while there is a lot of US politics here, if you block those subs, it disappears.
On reddit, it was fuckin everywhere.
You could not have a discussion about any country in a specifaclly non-US sub without hordes of yanks pilling into the thread and either:
A: Dragging the discussion to the USA. Well, in the USA the law would work this way... followed by 30 more US centric comments drowning out the discussions from the actual country the story is about.
B: A bunch on yanks telling you how you are doing democracy/free speech/gun control/health care/or basically anything wrong and how you are all sheep who are about to be marched into concentration camps.
So, no can't agree. lemmy/kbin is much better with that shit that reddit has been for a decade or more.
Or worse. "Hey, here's a picture of a tree I took in Malaysia"
Comment: "Looks like a pokemon version of Trump, amirite guise harr harr!!"
"That tree fucked around and found out!"
"Y'all"
