Unlike previous attempts at trying reddit alternatives (like Voat), kbin and much of the lemmyverse doesn’t seem to be plagued with extreme far right buffoonery. (kbin.social)

It’s one thing to have differing views, but I’ve seen enough attempted reddit migrations to be relieved that the popular communities in the fediverse so far haven’t been about crazy racist stuff or other extreme right bullshit.

I am also glad that I’m getting away from reddit’s general political shitposting, which was more left leaning. You couldn’t have any proper discourse on there, and even I with my generally more left leaning views recognized that.

These instances are like pirate ships pursuing us.

But they don't write from their original instance name... nonono, I'm sure that they are popping up here with a fresh duplicate account:

"Hello, let me explain some politics to you, but first let me nuke your reputation with a few multi accounts".

And you end up discussing with a whooping 5 downvotes as a starter. It gives the tone for the other people who want to discuss and see you as "this guy".

This is one of the major benefits of upvotes/downvotes not being anonymous in activitypub, IMO. Anyone can run a bot that detects patterns like this and calls it out for all to see.
