    It’s basically the same. Lemmy is kind of what reddit felt like before it got huge and astroturfed, it’s smaller which can be as much a benefit as a detriment depending what your after. I find interaction here tends to feel more human than reddit, on reddit comment threads especially in political subreddits you already know what the comments are gonna say before you get there, here i feel as though there is a bit more genuine thought. That being said Lemmy is not immune to echo chambers or trolls, as any bit of the internet is. Just use as you would use reddit honestly and just know your likely not to see as much content, but the content you see will get a more GENUINE feeling interaction. That’s my take anyhow.

      I’ve noticed that if you’re center or center-right here you get downvoted to oblivion or outright have your comments deleted by mods. It’s not really advertised, people have to find out the hard way. At least reddit has TrueUnpopularOpinion for people across the political spectrum to discuss with each other, and there’s nothing similar here at all.

        according to other commenters, it’s different across instances. I personally don’t like to talk about politics, except how it affects me, so I think I’ll be fine. also reddit is weird no matter what sub you go, and according to others, the mods tend to be more chill here, so if comments get removed, chances are (ACCORDING TO OTHERS)

        A) You’re not adding to discussion

        B) You’re being rude

        C) You’re on an instance that doesn’t like your opinion, swap instances possibly?

        I don’t know much about lemmy though, I’m new to it. Correct me where I’m wrong.

        Other users have also said if someone is not worth talking to, they downvote them. If you come across as toxic, mean, etc, to me, I will not interact with you.

        Complaining about “violent antifa psychos” isn’t really constructive discussion, it’s just open admission to being against antifascism.
