Is Lemmy worse than Reddit/Twitter? (aussie.zone)

When I was on reddit I wasn't exposed to so many people with extreme absolutist views who will stop at nothing to maintain the echo chamber.

Very few people here are able to make concessions.

I just feel like every time I get on here I go away angrier. We won't attract new users if we're like this

If you're looking for political discourse yes, this place is garbage. Nothing but fringe BlueAnon conspiracy theorists, and a very small contingent of equally fringe alt lighters.

But the Lemmy software is far, far better than Reddit's and the instances run smoother. If you can bear not talking about politics or the news, I'd recommend sticking around!
