Seems people frequently talk about negative experiences of them then end up banned shortly after

Also seems like people are weirdly quick to jump to their defense for the internet

Lemmy is mostly leftists and communists and it seems that patience is running thin on how some very active reactionary HB's behave against the ideologies. There are also cool & funny leftists there but they get lost in noise.

Lemmy isn't mostly leftists and commies, it's that the leftist and commie instances defederated with the right wing instances

And good riddance to that

I enjoy a place where I don't argue with right-wing people all the time

And during my instances time federated with Hexbear it was a shitty time for sure as arguing with those people was just as terrible

It's both true that Lemmy is mostly leftists and communists, and which have defederated from right wingers
