I was just reading this post https://old.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1gmv76n/is_reddit_going_to_remain_the_primary_space_for/ and many barely see the fediverse as an alternative and they seem to have a negative bias towards it. Super ironic when it comes to the self-hosting community. Yes, some instances are problematic, yes, some devs might have had problematic views. But it doesn’t really matter when it’s federated and FOSS. I think it’s clear-cut that the selfhosting community on Lemmy is a perfect alternative to reddit. Why is there such a negative bias?

      I would never support banish anyone, just to be clear. I know that sentiment is popular around here and reddit.

      Everyone within reason should be able to express themselves here that’s entire point of fediverse being the front page of the internet, a proper one!

      Younger folk do seem to self select out of place that won’t an echo chamber but that ain’t a young folk thing…

      Just check politics on lemmy.world 🤡

      My concerns about the “immigration leftover” is not their opposing views, but their behaviour. I don’t want to deal with the “waaah the world revolves around my belly, why are you too stupid to understand that?” crowds and their incessant whining.
