Man, I'm starting to think this platform ain't for me. Lots of unhinged folks here.

Same. Authoritarian propaganda from the CCP and Kremlin nonstop.

lemm.ee has a fairly open federation policy, no? That's probably a factor. I don't see nearly that much.

There's unhinged folks everywhere. Just stay clear of their instances.

Early on, I think lemmy was dominated by unhinged people, because they used it as a refuge when they got banned from reddit for being too unhinged. But as the rest of us normies migrated over because of the API fuckery, the unhinged people are once again in the minority. I see tankies get consistently downvoted into oblivion nowadays, which is a good sign in my book.

Unfortunately that’s just the nature of the internet.

Gotta agree but not ready to return to Reddit. Guess I'll play more RuneScape 🥴

You can block communities you don't like, that's just the nature of an open communities. Everyone will be one here.

Obviously if you feel strongly enough, feel free to leave, but no platforms are perfect. I think its better to have these views expressed our in the open where people can comment on it. Even if the poster is too far gone to have their mind changed, anyone who stumbles upon these opinions gets a lot more context around them and can hopefully makes a more informed decision about them. Its actually a lot safer this way.

Ultimately, I agree with less censored stances which is why I picked this instance. I just don't think it's good for my mental health to engage in the political banter. I did start blocking some instances, maybe that will help. Thanks for the insight!

I highly recommend moving to kbin or mastodon.

Kbin isn't exactly a way to avoid lemmy users.
