    You are describing r/Worldnews not other Reddit subs.

    And Lemmy has been 50-50, with very little actual personal attacking.

      Worldnews mods are clearly fascist. They banned me for being skeptical of IDF sources

        If it makes you feel any better, I got banned for my first and only comment there (not even a post) which was a link and an explanation of the high credentials of the author. Like this…

        https://seymourhersh.substack.com/p/how-america-took-out-the-nord-stream

        Hersh first gained recognition in 1969 for exposing the My Lai Massacre and its cover-up during the Vietnam War, for which he received the 1970 Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting.

      I do not visit worldnews. This description fits to both /r/europe and /r/de.

      And regarding lemmy, maybe on other instances, but I’m only on beehaw.

        Haven’t visited those subs.

        I might be describing beehaw rather than other Lemmy instances. That was why I joined beehaw, because it promised civility.

          Not moving the goalposts but I meant Lemmy in general, not beehaw, cause no downvotes

          But I admit you supplied a link to my request. I stand.partially informed

            Ah, so only beehaw prohibits downvotes, not other Lemmy instances. TIL.

            I guess even what I showed you may have gone negative if downvotes were allowed. The person I was arguing with wasn’t being nasty about it, just incredibly obstinate.

            I worry about a return to Nazi style anti-semitism (though I hate Likud) which the polarized discussions are leading us towards. It is arrogant to think it could never happen again.

              Some Lemmy instances have downvotes, some don’t. It varies by instance. I think most instances have/allow downvotes. Beehaw & Blahaj are two bigger ones that don’t that I can think of off of the top of my head.

              Also agreed with your last bit. I’m nervous about it, too. I wish people would just be decent and… not suck, lol.
