Unlike previous attempts at trying reddit alternatives (like Voat), kbin and much of the lemmyverse doesn’t seem to be plagued with extreme far right buffoonery. (kbin.social)

It’s one thing to have differing views, but I’ve seen enough attempted reddit migrations to be relieved that the popular communities in the fediverse so far haven’t been about crazy racist stuff or other extreme right bullshit.

I am also glad that I’m getting away from reddit’s general political shitposting, which was more left leaning. You couldn’t have any proper discourse on there, and even I with my generally more left leaning views recognized that.

Every time people are reminded that they are in control of their own experience here, they downvote and reply, "no! I want to control your experience too!" What a terrible attitude to have.

They have to control what you read and it's always the same argument. 'Dogwhistle', 'Groomer', 'Nazi', 'Pedo', etc...
Funny thing is you never see this IRL and it's only the terminally online who write like this. IRL discussions are much more mellow and you can talk with people about stuff, even controversial topics and you can always drop it and be good.

Every comment in this thread you could've found on reddit and copy pasted it here. Same quality of discourse.

Man if you're complaining about getting banned of dogwhistles, you should re-evaluate how you align yourself. It's not enough to just turn you attention away from the Nazi shit, it has to be stamped out. When we do the "well just don't look at it" thing, we allow them to keep recruiting and pulling vulnerable people in with their propaganda. Fascism is an evil ideology, flat out, and has no place in the world.

Try reading again. I dont get banned or complain about it.
Nice strawman. Building your own enemy how you want it.
