Now that a lot of the commotion has subsided I'm just curious to know how y'all are finding the Lemmy experience in general and whether you use it regularly like you did reddit?

I think a distributed, democratically oriented platform that makes no effort to rank people in a hierarchy or score their performance naturally appeals to a lot of leftists. Can't say I've seen much I would describe as extremist, but I haven't looked so it seems plausible.

Of course there's nothing actively stopping right wing instances from spinning up, so I'm sure it's just a matter of time before one blows up.
