I suspect you just agree with the political zeitgeist here more. There's extremist propaganda all over Lemmy. I never saw users threaten to execute other people on Reddit, I've seen it twice on Lemmy from the psychopaths on hexbear.
Well yes, but also that's hexbear. Don't get me wrong: they are loonies, some of them possibly even unironically, and federating them is fucking stupid for any instance. At least you know they're definitely safe to ignore, though.
Probably just never saw it on Reddit because of the hyper moderation and reporting (especially spaces that are mainstream politics). I've been lucky enough to catch some drama before the entire chain is nuked so it definitely exists. What's worse is no matter what subreddit you go into there's hatred of another side (try visiting something as mundane as a ufo sub and it's crazy), here the smaller niche communities seem calmer and more welcoming in general.
One thing I have noticed on here is we're all highly polarized from other online interactions and Lemmy gives the ability to somewhat combat that instinct. In-fighting among like-minded people is usually settled with a "I agree with your sentiment but also feel 'this' way". The "I hate people from this instance", is tempered with an equal amount of people who just don't care. I'm not sure if that will be the case as popularity rises over time and the louder voices drown out everyone but it's definitely made me re-think my gut reactions and commenting etiquette since being here which never would've happened on Reddit.
Fair enough. I think you're more optimistic about the future of Lemmy with regard to the propaganda on here, and I hope you're right.
I suspect Lemmy will continue to flail and probably die because of the political extremism on here, but I really love the idea of community owned social media.
