Lemmy probably feels like Reddit when it first started, all warm cuddly and friendly to newcomers eager to discuss and collaborate around central topics. (lemmy.world)

I joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.

They have destroyed social programs and the middle class. Tax cuts for the rich drove up enormous, insurmountable debt. The war on drugs. There were no WMD’s in Iraq. Guns take precedence over kids. Due to voter suppression and gerrymandering, they are vastly overrepresented in government. They refused to let Democratic presidents appoint Supreme Court judges. They are okay with stealing migrant kids from their parents and hiding razor wire in the Rio Grande. They are broadly xenophobic, homophobic, and misogynistic. They support Putin…

And a bunch of “fuck your feelings” spoiled adult babies who can’t accept that their dumbass, tub-of-lard dipshit president lost tried to overthrow the government.
