      I thought Lemmy was different than Reddit. I’m not mad, just disappointed.

        It is the internet, why did you think it would be different?

        Still the same people show up.

          Because it’s the internet, and different communities exist in different places. I watched Reddit deteriorate into a far-left cesspool like many others, and hoped this would be a place where talking to other people and having discussions is encouraged. More so, I thought this would be a place where delegating your political opposition as ‘subhumans’ would be countered the way it should be.

              I assume you don’t use it then. I still do, but I’m trying to get away from it. What you just said is completely inaccurate, but that’s understandable if you don’t frequent the site. I have only seen that kind of language used on 4chan.

            Reddit deteriorate into a far-left

            I didn’t know Trump was far-left

              You’re quoting my sentence, yet responding with something completely different than what I said. Why?

              If you think Trump is popular on Reddit, spend about 5 minutes browsing the site on any day of the week. That’s blatantly false.
