Longtime Lemmy Users: aside from sheer size, do you feel like the site has changed since the influx of reddit refugees, and if so, how?locked

BarackObama@lemmy.world to Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world – 181 points –

I've not been here long, but I'm curious how users who were present before the reddit drama feel about any potential changes to the content and tone of discussions.

Lemmy.World has gained a lot more fascists. Seemingly not so much the case on the other instances. Maybe because beehaw defederated so they think that’s the place to be to troll lefties and liberals and organize? Uncertain but anecdotally it’s definitely happening.

Mods and admins need to get proactive. We’ve all seen what happens to places when the right invades - everyone else leaves, it descends into a cess pit, even the nazis leave, site dies.

Let’s not turn into voat.

The right has nothing to offer anyone who isn’t a giant bigot, these days. They have no positions beyond, “hurt the people who I say need hurting.”

There is no valuable discussion that can come out of talking to a right winger. At this point they are all Sartre’s antisemite.

In fact, including right wingers only strengthens left and liberal echo chambers because instead of discussing nuanced matters everyone jumps up to dunk on the Nazi.

Kill baby Hitler in his crib. Autoban right wingers before they destroy the fediverse.

"Left wing, right wing. We're all under the same bird" so let's fly together. People. Are. People. The only difference is experience over the course of life. Meet in the middle, agree to disagree, try to have an intellectual and thought provoking discussion with anybody. Deciding to blindly hate half of your country's people is bot a good decision. It's a blanket treatment. If you were treated a certain way by those you despise just for being who you are, I'm sure it isn't fair. Dont be a hypocrite and do it back, assuming anything will be better. You'll just drive the wedge that divides you from them deeper. The world is uncomfortable

TIL being queer is the same as voluntarily adopting an ideology of hatred.

can't you, like, come to common cause with NAZIS

Jesus fucking Christ with you people.

Miss me with this milquetoast appeasement nonsense. Google Chamberlain.

Do you mean... anyone who isn't a pro russia/China shill? Sorry but the LM/fascists/nazis are all the same. Bad people.

literally didn't mention china or russia but yeah some tankies circlejerking their bad takes on the internet are not equivalent to the nazis who are out there murdering people on the reg.

the fact that you think they're equatable, as well as the fact that you bring them up out of nowhere points to your true ideology, even if you aren't aware of what it is.
