I would have to disagree, i dont really like every opinion here, it can get rather extreme, but there is a difference according to me over suggesting extreme action towards oligarchs, institutions which have hurt people etc etc (which is what i mostly see on lemmy) vs cheering on the death of innocent people just because they r of a different kind, although i should clarify here these extremist views are not that present is smthng like r/all but rather seems region dependent

You are right that the european/US side of reddit is uhmm decently left leaning (apart from the strange fetish for israel, not sure how many of them are bots), but the indian side (the one which was the most prevalent in my feed) was absolutely horrifying; i perhaps should have made the distinction clear hehe in my original post

Well i remember when i first made my first ever lemmy account like 3 yrs ago and that process of figuring out all the instances and federation thingy prolly filtered most binary thinkers out i suppose haha😅

Fair.

Actually i also left lemmy partly because it can get pretty black and white too, but honestly its much better than any other form of such platform rn tbh

Btw idk if u r confusing south asia with southeast asia but trust me when I say its not pleasant here lmao

I was too young when 4chan was arnd lol, afaik /b/ was some unmoderated canvas or smthng right?

I recently read an article though i forgot which outlet, which was about how israel funded sm crazy amt of money to manage its image on social media, seems pretty plausible considering how monotonous and repetitive pro israel comments are…

I mean if you push me yes i can get how people might feel “polarized” by the ideas of “accepting” feminism, lgbtq, or other groups, but advocating to kill and destroy then, maybe its just me, but directly opposes human conscience, I am not exactly sure how can you cheer genocide when you actively see people suffering who are trapped in such situations

Hmm, yeah ig it maybe a fair possibility that most are just agnostic, and get influenced by opinions that are propagated by a ridiculous amount of funding

I would appreciate if u can clarify what u mean, but as far as my own understanding goes reddit and X themselves dont seem to actively remove posts/comments that dont adhere to a particular worldview/ideology, if i am not mistaken? Reddit relies on mods and i dont have much knowledge about X.
