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
Most of these communities call themselves communists, but fall are so knee deep in logic fallacies, you spend more time picking their arguments apart then having a conversation. I gave up on lemmy.ml, because it was only a matter of time before I got banned anyway. Way too many people are basically “west/America bad, ergo Russia/CCP good.”
