Somewhat, but the way federated instances are set up, it’s not nearly as bad or easily abused.
Not as if making a new Reddit account was that much of a roadblock, either. They accept 10minutemail addresses.
And this is where you went? This is literally Reddit’s bias taken to the level of hyperbole. The extremism groupthink here is the primary reason it hasn’t and likely will never go mainstream.
Uhm, the worldnews subreddit is literally the most astroturfed online community I have ever seen in my entire life. Lemmy isn’t great because it still has Redditors on it, but it’s still nowhere near as bad as Reddit.
What? Where have you been that you have this kind of opinion?
It’s basically the same as reddit: You do have your bubbles, you do have open minded communities, you also have closed minded communities. Your experience is therefore dependend on where you go.
For example: Joining a vegan server to say “meat is great” will lead to a shitshow. But that’s not supprising and it’s not because Lemmy per se harbors militant people.
I’m not surprised. I’m on this site because I’m sick of being banned on reddit for thinking wrong.

What’s really fascinating is how many of the advice communities for certain sexual practices are run by bona fide rapists.
It’s the same here
If it’s like that on lemmy.ca then why not go to a different Lemmy host or make your own. Both things that are not an option for Reddit

Same. Will never go back. Even the military subs are toxic now.
Imagine that.

You are at -20 and I can still read you just fine. On reddit they would have banned you, got you fired from your job and stolen your cat.
