I’m not sure what’s going on over there, but half the time I see a post from there or go into a comment section and it’s just…bad. Like old reddit the_donald bad. Constant trolling, etc. You TS just really bad vibes. I’ve been blocking the communities as they come up, but I’m not sure what else I can do.
I mean… most things I see on the FV is fairly left-leaning. It’s effectively all a “leftist space” (and I’m saying this as a non-American who’s voted as far-left as I can for the past few elections) except for that one sad cunt posting stonetoss (explicit transphobic and probably other -phobic) “memes”.
leftist space has a specific meaning that goes past the political positions of the userbase averaging out to be progressive. lemmy for the most part is somewhat left leaning, although there’s definitely an abundance of right wing and liberal users, but my point is it doesn’t have many open spaces dedicated to activism or on the ground work since the majority of communities that are left leaning are more preoccupied with out of touch online discourse than real world action
