Warning: Elon Musk now has Huffman bending the knee. Whitepeopletwitter, iselondeadyet and loads of other Elon critical subs have been banned or suspended.

Just a warning, Reddit is no longer a safe place for free speech, it is compromised.

    The extremists would be the first to leave Reddit and search for alternatives. Eventually, enough average people join that it levels out. But if you try to do that artificially, it’ll just water the space down until it becomes another reddit.

      Tbh, my only issue with reddit is who owns it and the way in which they exploit that. As a product I’m pretty happy with it, and the thing that made it reduce in quality, losing a shitload of its moderators because reddit fucked them over, ISNT an area that Lemmy beats it in. When I started getting my foot out the door I started paying attention to how many mods an instance had when I blocked it, and the majority of Lemmy instances had like ONE active mod. Lemmy is effectively unmoderated, and I’m not a fan of that, especially with some of the population it has.

        I’m not trying to be rude, but it sounds like a mainstream echo chamber is exactly what you’re looking for. There’s instances like that. I don’t know what’s so terrifying that instances can exist outside of that.

          Nah man, I just dont want idiotic and extreme takes to be like 30% of what I see. Someone who champions lgbtq rights while defending Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, or a Vegan who nutritionally starves their pet because they think their ideals trump their cat’s nutritional needs, or even a self identified Narcissist who thinks the word Narcissist is an Ablist slur are NOT opinions worth reading, but thats exactly the kind of bulshit thats uncommon at its very rarest on this site. Further, moderation keeps threads on point, and doesnt drag EVERY instance into whatever bulshit drama that is hitting lemmy this week
