I have been on reddit for just about 12 years now. Something I’ve noticed over time is just how hateful the place has become. A complete outrage machine. Every single sub became filled with it. I’ve filtered so many subreddits over the last few years, it’s insane. I don’t know enough about this place to be sure, but I do hope it doesn’t become the same type of echo chamber of anger.

    Umm… and most of the Lemmy instances are nearly as open? For example, Lemmy.ml bans:

    1. Criticism of China or Russia
    2. Discussion of the war in Ukraine

    I’ve seen the mods over there lay a heavy hand at anyone who tries to talk about or discuss these topics.

    Also, for good reasons, most of the mainstream Lemmy instances do not have any of the “rauchy” communities that Reddit has.
