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.

And Lemmy isn’t an echo chamber? Try posting any conservative opinions around here and see how many downvotes you get.
That’s because all the dum-dums are still over there on Reddit. This place has brain cells and it’s awesome.
It’s nice because you can talk to people, be heard, and be able to listen back. Of course I don’t agree with everybody all the time, but in some communities it’s cool to learn something you didn’t know before.
Uh yeah, people around here don’t tend to accept bigotry. Anybody who espouses racism/homophobia can get out. Which happens to be most conservatives. It’s not about being a conservative. It’s about being a piece of human shit.
Even as I’m on the more left end, I’d say not all conservatives or right-leaning people are racist homophobic bigots, though. If anything, I’d say a sizable portion have a right-leaning non-discriminatory worldview, mainly economic.
Admittedly, as much as I’m preferring the fediverse, it is definitely an echo chamber, Lemmy included.
But they still vote for homophobic bigots. If you sit at a dinner table with Nazis, what does that make you?
Lowering taxes for the rich and cutting social services does not tend to have good results.
Right-leaning economics does not make sense to me at all, beyond the emotional hook of “government stealing your hard earned money to give to lazy poor people on welfare”.
Nice bigoted comment proving his point!
shut up loser
Another one!
I’m not going to pretend that your anti-social values have merit just because you think they do. Even putting on the veil of politeness is too much validation for your childish ideas.
Yup, based on the replies you got they’re proving your comment Lemmy absolutely sucks when it comes to political circlejerk.
To be fair, the GOP has shifted so far Right, that conservative opinions nowadays are less “We need to be more fiscally responsible and try solutions outside of throwing money at problems.” and more “So lemme tell you which minorities don’t deserve rights and the specific reasons why they don’t… the short version is it’s all of them… except my asian wife and my black friend… for now…”
Bullshit. Just more of the hateful bigotry of the left than has divided things so greatly. You won’t even engage, just mock an increasingly non existent strawmen
Trans people in red states say you’re full of shit.
And your comment history reveals you as a lying fascist.
I guess my Florida based insurance provider dropping coverage for my HRT is “just a strawman” turns out
‘My private anecdote disproves targeted state action!’
Jog on.
Asking if I misword something? I’m saying insurance companies are being actively complicit on this ongoing fascist movement by denying trans people coverage to HRT.
I’m glad you’re better than this, but sadly it’s not a straw man.
Edit: I think this is what they’re referring to
Huh this post got my dogs barking…
Lol I bet you refer to black people as “criminals” too
Why?
