Lemmy is just the right amount of degenerate.

Reddit is populated by Bill Maher flavored liberals, 4chan is populated by Asmondgold flavored cockroaches, Tildes is populated by approximately seven users (but they're all pretty cool), and Lemmy users are smart with tech and stupid with everything else

I was banned from the whole site because a mod got mad that I reported someone for abusive behavior that said mod agreed with.

Better check your shoes for dog shit!

More niche and somehow more circle jerk

But at least federated 🤷

Yup, I saw that first part and thought, "Ahh, 4chan, where people think reddit is too woke."

Yeeeeeaaaaah, when I read the bit about narrow talking points being allowed, I knew the author was either going to have a good point about Reddit's tendency to circlejerk, or be a bigoted piece of shit. Not really shocked it's the latter.

4th item is most likely referring to r/conservative as well which means they're also mad they can't participate in the hate chamber

Random? That or some other bigoted bullshit was forecast to come from the third sentence.

They really buried the lede with that one, huh.

Indeed, one thing I love about being trans is that it gives me a radar for if someone is being based or just an asshole.

If I detect transphobia I realize it's just assholery.

Sir this is Lemmy. People are even more up their butts here than Reddit

Surely thats your own lemmy instance ? other instances can federate or defederate as they want (or piefed)

I've had the fortune to post on niche micro-imageboards like that, irreverent but not hateful.

They just have to stay small otherwise the classic issue of "Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe that they're in good company" arises and now you can't post pictures of black people without a chance of triggering the trolls.

It seems like you are getting either one extreme or the other. I'd be fine with no extremism on either political side and more rational moderation.

there used to be a /leftypol/ somewhere but it was all Stirnerists for some reason

Ummm this is actually so toxic and disrespectful. People on the left care about and advocate for marginalised people and so adding humour to them is a pretty bad look sweety. I think, respectfully, you should delete this now. And maybe catch up on some of your leftist reading... This comment gives me pretty yikes vibes..

Yeah everyone knows about the IPA

I was confused when I read the transphobia part, then I remembered this was 4chan and cringed

It explains some.of the earlier stuff too.

He's active on right-wing hate subs, so he's banned from the remaining civilized subs.

seriously? there was some whiny obnoxious shit there way before the transphobia

2westerneurope4u unironically has some of the most important and honest discussions among Europeans, because people don't need to worry that much about what they are writing. They have mastered less moderation, without becoming a hate filled cesspool.

The jargon thing is pretty rich coming from the most jargon-dense place on the internet

I mean.. /d/
