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.

It's easy to just block the things you don't want to see. As long as the communities you use don't allow that stuff, they will be banned if they bring it there. The same thing would have happened if more people joined those other reddit alternatives, but no one was willing to do it.

Every time people are reminded that they are in control of their own experience here, they downvote and reply, "no! I want to control your experience too!" What a terrible attitude to have.

Yeah, I joined VLemmy.net because they do not defederate with anyone and the admin made this post. Specifically the part where they said:

I feel it is important as many people have mentioned to “leave the power to the users” and let them decide the content they wish to see.

The great thing about the fediverse is that you can join a site that caters to what you want, or if it doesn't exist you can make it yourself.

I think I need to make an account there.
