Comment on Is lemmy now what reddit used to be 10+ years ago?

I feel like Lemmy has WAY more crazy political views, like extreme leftist and BoTh SiDeS people. That’s probably more of a symptom of Russian propoganda across the wider Internet that wasn’t as prevalent 10+ years ago.

We barely talked about politics at all back when the great Digg migration happened. People were interested in far more fun things back then.

  Hmmmm, I remember heaps of people being into Ron Paul because he wanted to legalise weed, and Bernie is a perennial favourite

This also depends on what instances your instance federates with though. You could go to an instance that defederates from the more politically extreme instances.

  I think it also depends on what communities you interact with.
  
  I got fed up with it in the Lemmy.world new community and unsubscribed. I’ve been much happier following that change.
  
  There are still some leftist and both sides hot takes I run into … but it’s a much more acceptable pacing now.

TIL that egalitarianism and saving humanity from unrestrained capitalism is extremely left.
