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 it’s actually refreshing to see their pov on things, don’t always agree but they bring up good points

    hexbear in particular is very supportive of marginalized groups and positive in general. I’m glad lemm.ee didn’t defederate with the ml boogeymen

      I put up with hexbear for awhile, but I ended up blocking them eventually.

      Sure, they don’t mind explaining their points if you’re careful about asking. But god forbid you express disagreement. If you aren’t with them completely, you’re a fascist.

        That’s fair game. If they express their opinion at Lemmy.world we would also lable label them as fascist. Their community is their safe sanctuary where they can do unto others, what others do unto them.

          If you say so. It isn’t really my problem anymore either way. They can be insufferable by themselves if that’s what they truly want
