I actually don't experience these any of the issues. If you don't like tankie stuff then just block lemmygrad and hexbear.
Tbh, I'm very left so I like lemmygrad anti-capitalist anti-US memes.

They're fine as long as you keep a safe distance, plus it's fun to watch them antagonize any nazis that show up.
It absolutely is an echo chamber, and it gets really toxic. This place is extremely xenophobic and it's very exhausting.
Fuck it. I'll take my media raw. I'm not gonna block something just because it offends me and if shit posters start taking over the place well thats just society baby! I prefer it that way to giving some central entity the power to 'clean' up everything how they see fit. Not gonna lock myself into an echo chamber if I can help it.
To all the admins, thanks and take your time fixing things and if instances go offline for a while, thanks for giving me a social media break!
🤨
honestly I found this was dependant on the instance you are on. I switched instances off my previous one (well technically I bounce back and forth) and I find it super dependant on the instance I'm on with what the toxicity levels are.

I bet that dude said something racist and got dogpiled. I only see toxic comments on lemmy when I say something racist.
That's a fair point. While racism thrives in small communities where any rare truth gets downvoted, Lemmy's federation has made it almost impossible for racist communities to reach critical mass here.
As someone who browses /new, I've seen numerous times someone trashing Lemmy, and then 20 posts down I find they posted something incredibly stupid.
They're not wrong. Lemmy across all its instances has a real hall monitor vibe. It's because most people here are both trans and in IT.
Thats funny how first paragraph of their post is describing my experience with Reddit. I think, in majority, people here are nicer. Also Im curious how many backend issues had Reddit in it's first couple of years? I doubt situation back then was better. And its surprising to see anyone on Reddit complaining about backend problems here, while they literally made impossible to create any 3rd party apps or software based on Reddit API.
If someone corrects what you wrote into an English sentence, and you have a problem with people looking out for you, then you're a dick.
Well...bye.
