After years of reddit/twitter/facebook propping up fascism/bigotry with algorithms & bots I’m honestly surprised and relieved to be in an online space that clearly rejects their ideology.
They can have reddit/facebook/twitter. AFAIC the only way to reach some of these people is to leave them alone long enough to realize on their own.
Lemmy.world admins are doing an amazing job dealing with everything. Their recent decision to defederate from exploding heads (or whatever its called) really goes to show that they’re in it for the right reasons.
I signed up for Voat years ago when it was online, but the rampant anti-semitism rendered the site unusable.
I gave it a try when I was going through my “absolute free speech” phase. I thought it was alright for a couple weeks, but after the people from “/r/coontown” came, i started to question my beliefs. Place immediately went to shit.
I wasn’t fed up with reddit enough back then to stick with voat. IIRC it literally was a reddit clone just with 1% of the content.
