Do most Lemmy users know that they're in an echo chamber and their actions are perpetuating that? (lemmy.world)

Or do people think that Lemmy is a neutral, open-minded, safe community? Not like evil Reddit.

EDIT: Talking about mainstream instances like ml or world.

See examples of violent comments towards me and instead of mods removing their comments, they removed mine.

The comment that the all caps person was replying to was me saying that there are non-human targets. Users were assuming I want to kill people and turns out they are the ones that want to kill.

You're right about the bias.

I propose you look for an instance that does not federate with .ml

Thanks. I didn’t realize ml was so infamous. How do I know if they federate with them or not?

It can be handy to look at fediseer too:

https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/lemmy.ml

For example, one instance seems to have blocked lemmy.ml for:

  • poor moderation
  • toxicity
  • abusive admin
  • red fash
  • misinformation
  • brigading

And lists evidence as:

In short: Lemmygrad-lite
-- Poor moderation / misinformation: worldnews@lemmy.ml is a cesspool of misinformation.
-- Red Fash/abusive admin: Mention anything negative about China or Russia and see how fast you get banned. Signups require quoting something from an approved list of communist dogma.
-- Toxicity: (Gestures vaguely in all directions).
-- Brigading: It may not be organized brigading, but every 3rd comment from users there is basically someone jumping in with "capitalism bad" and tearing down any discussion/ideas for improvement that aren't complete and total destruction of the current economic model

Thanks! That’s useful for validating instances in the future.

Mlem is the only iPhone client I'm aware of that lets you quickly navigate to this page for instances

[–] Illecors@lemmy.cafe 1 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

The other guy had answered already, but I'll plug my instance anyway :)

[–] venusaur@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

I’ll check out cafe. Thanks!

You can check here for lemmy.world, or other instances by using the same syntax.
