To the people who say they don't run into jerks here or they don't understand when people say it's worse than reddit... what rose colored glasses are you wearing? Huge swaths of lemmy are little better than 4chan.
"Oh, you just have to curate your communities."
Stop. Take your superior than thou attitude and just stop. You are part of the problem.
Can you point me to the 4chan like part of lemmy? I just go to the main page and click on 'all' so maybe I'm missing something but what I see are just some linux memes, post about video games and 'asklemmy' posts. Never noticed 4chan like content.
Hexbear and lemmygrad. Hexbear is one of the largest lemmy instances and it's a pit.
So two specific instances? I wouldn't say it's "huge swaths". I never visit those instances so never saw anything posted there.
Two of the top ten largest instances... something like a good 10-20% of Lemmy users are full on fascists with a hard on for making other people's lives miserable. You being ignorant of it doesn't make it untrue.
Cool, my question is how do you keep finding this fascists content? I don't see it when I click on 'all' (and obviously I'm not subscribed there). Is it because you're on a different instance? Is my instance not federated with those fascists? Or do you simply keep going there to see what the fascists are up to?
You want me to figure your life out for you or is this a passive aggressive thing?
No, I don't want you to tell me how to find fascist content. I'm asking how do you find it. Is it mixed with all the other content when you're browsing lemmy or do you search for it?
Neither. I picked an instance that is defederated from it. It wasn't at first and it was mixed into everything.
