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.

On their own instance, that they run. So again, who cares?

It sucks that the official instance from the devs of the software denies human rights violations and supports authoritarian governments.

That should not be where people land when looking for a reddit alternative.

It's not the "official instance", though. There isn't an "official instance."

They're the devs that got the software started, but anyone can be a dev or fork the repository. Or write a new compatible server from scratch, like kbin.

We're not even using their software now. It shows the power of open source that all of this can coexist peacefully despite differing opinions.
