I’m only a month in to my Lemmy journey (a few days or so of being actually active now I understand how it works) and I have so far found totally the opposite.
It’s sure a lot nicer than reddit, we can express ourselves better here without worrying about the banhammer or shit like that. Hell on Reddit I used to get permanently muted from communities just cause I said a ‘bad word’ - once was by a really good sub because I directly quoted an Australian animated skit with the word cunt in it. I’m Aussie so I’m not offended by it in the least, it’s an Aussie staple that can mean all kinds of things.
People here seem nicer, smaller community, more open for a chat, don’t have to autistically worry about someone getting offended as often. More likely to upvote comments too.
In short, fuck Reddit haha.

The Damo & Darren Ciggy butt brain one haha. It was relevant to the topic and everything I thought it was a sure fire comment and nope, instantly muted.
Oh well haha, guess not everyone appreciates our humour. Great to see there’s a few of us around here as well!
