Is Lemmy worse than Reddit/Twitter? (aussie.zone)

When I was on reddit I wasn't exposed to so many people with extreme absolutist views who will stop at nothing to maintain the echo chamber.

Very few people here are able to make concessions.

I just feel like every time I get on here I go away angrier. We won't attract new users if we're like this

Smaller communities tend to make the radical groups stick out more.

There were no doubt those types of people on Reddit, but they were easier to ignore since they were unmistakabley a minority.
