I’m done, I’ve been banned for expressing a different opinion (without insulting or personally attacking anyone), I’ve been accused of evading a ban with multiple accounts (this is my only account I’ve ever had on any lemmy instance), I’ve had people selectively ignore my comments and accuse me of things which I never said, and I’ve had people ignore valid criticisms and keep attacking me.

Reddit has many issues with trolls, one-sided discussion, and just general bullshit, but many Lemmy instances are way worse. The newfound freedom of Lemmy has attracted many extremists, from both sides, and many of them are moderators, who are more than happy to remove any contrarian opinions. This results in discussions being echo chambers

        I don’t know lemmygrad. I know lemmy.ml and gave up on that when I was just having the same discussions, and the same debunking points over and over again. I don’t have the energy for politics 24/7, especially when I don’t think any predominate political group cares about me or the problems I care about.

      Yikes, seems like the American right wing is fascist too. What’s bizarre about all of this is that the tankies are very much opposed to the American right too. So they’re anti-fascist? It seems that they’re so opposed to western capital that they’ll cheer for some really shitty governments because they’re also fighting western capital.
