Fair, I never went on those subs and I’d imagine most Redditors didn’t. I’d also imagine there are some Lemmy instances which are just as bad if not worse. I guess that’s a bit different because federation means those communities are isolated from other instances, but I don’t know if practically it’s any different when it’s so easy to have accounts across multiple instances. I’d imagine anyone using one of those highly isolated instances on Lemmy will have an account on another instance.
Did I just have a very different Reddit experience to everyone else or is this a massive circle jerk?
There was a lot of dog whistle racism is subs like r/publicfreakout
Any community as large as Reddits is going to have a some arseholes but it largely depended on which sort of subs you were subscribed to.
