Lemmy probably feels like Reddit when it first started, all warm cuddly and friendly to newcomers eager to discuss and collaborate around central topics.

I joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.
You're viewing a single thread.
Where are these warm and cuddly people? If you express viewpoints that are not central dogma to the left of center folk, you're just as ostracized here as you would be on Reddit.
I'm left of center and I get yelled at by a communist at least once per thread I engage with, on average.
I'm at a point where I'm just blocking them as they pop up.
Yeah, it's much worse here.
I'd argue that it is actually more so the case here if anything.
Not to leave out mods deleting posts altogether here.
