About a week now since I joined Lemmy. It seemed to me at first that place like this, where the tech knowledge prerequisites are a little higher than Reddit or Twitter, and being a lot of Reddit refugees, would be a bit of a liberal haven.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not against discourse, although these days that is trying at best. But, in the last few days I've been running into a lot of bullshit MAGA style nonsense on Lemmy.
That kind of people just loves to annoy others. Additionally their echo chamber is just boring and always the same.
I also had some run ins with strange characters in here, but they stop engaging with you when you don't give into their nonsense and call them out. You can also report them.
Edit: you’re on lemmy.world, who is already blocking many maga instances… I would just message admins whenever you see new toxic instances and they can add them to the blocked list
I just want to take a moment to recognize the fact that you came here, a month late, to comment something fuckin so brilliantly beautiful that it still managed 3 downvote. This is the best. Thanks man.
