What fun is a place you agree with 100%? Come roll in the mud with the rest of us.
You say that, but OP is talking about popular reddit alternative sites like this: https://poal.co/
It's not mud, it's discarded sewerage.
I mean, I would, but then my hope for humanity would dwindle even more.
If you want a place where you only see things you agree with, make a blog. Although be sure to only display the latest article, in case your opinion changes.
Well you're already on one. There are a bunch of different federated Lemmy sites (this is only one of them, see https://join-lemmy.org/instances ) so if this one is too political for you, there are other Lemmy options.
Most of the super-popular reddit alternatives are made up of subreddits that got banned in 2015 or 2019 for being 'hate groups' or overtly about racism once they got mentioned in news articles, so that's why you're seeing a lot of that garbage. My advice is that if most of the popular subreddit/etcs on a site are horrible, then the other ones will be populated by mostly the same users anyway.
No I love lemmy. It's not a very toxic community, unlike other reddit alternatives which allow hate speech, but that's a different topic for a different day.
I think the ones which allow hate speech become platforms exclusively for hate speech as they people who have been banned from almost every platform go there and ruin it.
Welcome.
I just joined Poal.co and I already regret it.
