  Honestly this. Everyone is always “on”. Everything HAS to be about politics, and if one syllable you utter isn’t cursing Donald Trump and his descendants unto the thousandth generation you’re labelled a fascist. I mean for heaven’s sake I don’t like him, I didn’t vote for him, and I’m counting the days until his term is over, but no that’s apparently not enough.

    if there is anything i’ve learned, online or not. miserable people hate anyone who isn’t as miserable as they are and will harass and insult you for not being miserable just like them.

    for example, i like my job. this makes a lot of people immediately hostile to me when they find out because they hate their job.

      That’s really reductive.

        life is reductive. it’s not my job to have empathy for militant losers who sit around flipping between whining about their lives and then engaging in violent political fantasizing about how they will kill the non believers.

  Why do Reddit and Twitter users not have a similar problem with all the fascist shit going on over there? If extremism would be the problem on Lemmy, why isn’t it a problem on Reddit or Twitter?

    Twitter does have that problem. It’s had that problem for years. That’s why I’m not on Twitter. That doesn’t cancel out the craziness on here though.

  I can agree with you, the initial experience can be daunting for new users especially since majority of communities are of political nature. This experience honestly is why i think most people now reside in such communities - as that’s the experience with me.

  In addition, I can agree with extremist stances being prominent on here. Eco-fascism is one of those that I found common even when I was only part of the “basic” communities.
