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.

Someone posted a huge list of “reddit alternatives” and I went through them one by one, Kbin/lemmy links were right down the bottom but I’m so glad I persisted- there were SO many far right “anti woke” style websites on that list all trying to become social media, it really opened my eyes. im positive this is not a coincidence, & would not be surprised if there are some pretty bad folks/nation states are behind setting these things up to try & propagandise people.

Anyway, this place seems pretty cool, will hang here for a bit i think.

A list I saw had Freedom Social and Parler on it entirely seriously. Really shocked me to see, and made it a lot harder to figure out what was going to be the replacement. I'm glad I stuck with Kbin.
