I joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.

  • I had someone try to cancel me the other day because I said I prefer a more casual internet experience. The whole thing was wild. They made 5 posts in 6 hours and got banned from two instances, all because they wanted a fight and picked me at random. Apparently they didn’t believe me that “I avoid politics on lemmy” has to do with all of the tankie extremism here.
