The reason I ask this question is that it seems like most people who leave Reddit for Lemmy—or the ones who get banned and then come here—got banned for some political reason. So it makes me wonder.
Also, not to mention, the content here is highly politically charged. Actually, I wouldn’t even say that. It’s just mostly political—and extreme.
In your honest opinion, do you think the Lemmy software was created as a place for political extremists to congregate, or was it legitimately made as a social media alternative to Reddit?
What’s your opinion? And what’s been your experience?
I see it as a Linux focused Reddit alternative with fewer memes. Does it have more political content than reddit, or is it just more noticeable with fewer memes? I don’t even really engage with that stuff unless its news.
