I’m done, I’ve been banned for expressing a different opinion (without insulting or personally attacking anyone), I’ve been accused of evading a ban with multiple accounts (this is my only account I’ve ever had on any lemmy instance), I’ve had people selectively ignore my comments and accuse me of things which I never said, and I’ve had people ignore valid criticisms and keep attacking me.
Reddit has many issues with trolls, one-sided discussion, and just general bullshit, but many Lemmy instances are way worse. The newfound freedom of Lemmy has attracted many extremists, from both sides, and many of them are moderators, who are more than happy to remove any contrarian opinions. This results in discussions being echo chambers
Yeah, the Kremlin stopped paying them.
Moderates dominate the Democrat party. They undermine, sabotage and outright fight progressive and leftist efforts at every opportunity. Then they get big mad when progressives and leftists say they’ve had enough and won’t show up in the general election. Moderates believe anything they do in politics is fair game but the moment leftists and progressives fight back they try to act like we’re one big family. It’s gaslighting bullshit.
