As for the worst joining Lemmy. I was starting to feel the same way until I deleted my 3 year old .ml account and blocked the lemmygrad, lemmy.ml, and hexbear instances. Now my feed is quite pleasant and I'm enjoying the place much more all around.
What about those particular instances is so bad?
If you're not familiar, r/ChapoTraphouse was the left wing version of r/The_Donald, complete with trolling and brigading. And like r/T_D, it got banned, then remade, then banned again, etc. Until most of their users switched to lemmygrad and hexbear, particularly the more toxic users.
I assume those are the instances from which I occasionally catch stray misc political statements that seem to be goading me into a fight.
They get bored quickly if you talk to them like people, they target people with tempers. Works well.
Who knows though.
Yeah, they absolutely goad you into a fight then report you for the exact same shit they do/say but you’ll get banned- they won’t.
