Extremist political propaganda from instances like Hexbear, Lemmygrad, and Exploding Heads.
I won't recommend it to anyone in it's current state.
Same here. I guess I've made too many enemies from those communities and I suspect that my username has been put on some brigading community. Almost every comment gets downvoted instantly and my inbox is filled with pro-Tankie DMs and threats.
It's kinda funny but I feel like Lemmy has run its course for me
I abandoned an account because Lemmygrad users followed me around and downvoted everything I posted. I think it had around -3000 karma.
They're happy to harass people as they spread their authoritarian propaganda.
@awwwyissss
And #NAFOs don't? /s
@PP_BOY_
While I don't fully share that sentiment, I acknowledge it's a point frequently brought up.
So, looking for a compromise ... is there hope in growth? Like, with numbers big enough, it should become feasible to have an instance which strictly blocks all political leanings of 'your despised flavor', and still have enough content to look at.
Would that be a solution for you, for example @awwwyissss@lemm.ee or @PP_BOY_@lemmy.world? Lemmy as a whole would still have 'bad stuff', but there would be a 'clean instance' which you can recommend, from which no 'bad stuff' can be seen.
I simply skipped thinking about better wordings for 'some expressions'. Please bear with me. I didn't mean to judge.
Yeah if there was a stable instance that filtered political extremism well I might recommend it to others
