It’s mostly in the politics communities, for all the good that information does you. It’s incredibly blatant, though that doesn’t stop folks from biting the hook given the spectrum of people here.

I feel bad for anyone who mods a politics community. Those comment sections are insufferable.

They chose their torture… but yes, the comments they sift through are among the worst in the fediverse.

Zero faith that anyone moderating a politics community is doing it for any reason other than to have control of the discourse.

Just because Lemmy is a more cohesive unit where overall political leaning is concerned, doesn't mean that it's unfiltered and unbiased.
