And this is where you went? This is literally Reddit’s bias taken to the level of hyperbole. The extremism groupthink here is the primary reason it hasn’t and likely will never go mainstream.

What? Where have you been that you have this kind of opinion? It's basically the same as reddit: You do have your bubbles, you do have open minded communities, you also have closed minded communities. Your experience is therefore dependend on where you go.

For example: Joining a vegan server to say "meat is great" will lead to a shitshow. But that's not supprising and it's not because Lemmy per se harbors militant people.

Yeah, but try saying something slightly to nuanced about the Israel - Palestine situation almost anywhere here and you get nuked.

OK let's try.

Zionist are blood thirsty monster

Hamas are terrorists

Hezbollah has no dicks left (wore pager in front) And no one in america who isn't a vile glowie, can put these shitholes countries on the map

And none, NONE of us gives the slightest wind of a fart about anyone in the mideast.

Stop Zogging our governments for goddamned free bombs, you fucking bunch of revolting murdereous assholes.

That should do it ! Text me if you can still read this in a week.

You are at -20 and I can still read you just fine. On reddit they would have banned you, got you fired from your job and stolen your cat.

And if they right mod or person complains, gotten your account banned.
