    In a forum there should be dissenting opinions, however those are downvoted to oblivion.

    As opposed to what, Lemmy World??? This place is the same just fewer users.

      Not really. If you’ve been on Reddit for more than a decade you really could see a cultural shift. Lemmy feels smaller and more filterable. If you curate your subscriptions and exclude more extreme Instances it’s quite all right.

      Whenever I read Reddit outside of my niche subs it just feels almost distopian, is become a very weird place.

        When I left reddit, I was subbed to like 30-50 subs, I only went on r/aspiememes despite most of my subs being about geopolitics and history because wherever I went there always were dude promoting genocide while all pretending to be from different side of the political spectrum

          We are seeing that happen on Lemmy all 2024 so far.

        Laughable. Reddit actually bans the insane fringes, then they come here.

          Yeah. I believe in the fediverse and really want to see it crush corporate social media, but I don’t even tell people I use it while there’s so much authoritarian propaganda on here.

          The fact that some of the most prominent communities are on the garbage instance lemmy.ml is just wild.
