Just checking the place out after not being able to stand Reddit and its policies anymore. Their policing of Luigi posts was the last straw for me. Going public ruins companies.

    It’s really hard for openly reactionary communities to get a hold here, because rather than being given free reign by fiat, they get defedded. The reactionaries are definitely here, and lemmy.world among other open instsnces are a bit of a haven for them, but even lemmy.world has to make concessions to the fact that if they become too much of a shithole then the other instances will make alternatives and render them irrelevant.

    It turns out that without a big daddy institution to shelter them, reactionaries don’t thrive, their communities can’t metastisise, and they are super unpopular. That’s the big difference.
