The flip side is there are some people who have been here a long time tho...
But they're almost exclusively rightwingers who were ip banned from reddit. Like the exploding heads instance is/was over a year old, and those people were insanely annoying before everyone defederated.
The more time goes by, the more regular people join and water down that extremism
Yeah I mean looking at the stats of new users, that watering down has already happened to the point where any extremeist shit is statistically insignificant by now. 99%+ of people here are just looking for a replacement reddit and that's all, rather than some censorship haven where they can chat their extreme views.
Yes it was interesting finding communities banned from Reddit who seemed like they had been here awhile.
