I think some of the Reddit refuges honestly think Reddit sucks because Spez Man Bad. There’s no analysis of what creates Reddits and Spezes, and therefore they don’t recognize who made this platform and why.
I have to believe ultimately some of these people will come around, so that’s good at least.
I’m kind of new to lemmy in general and judging by the other comments I want to ask: is lemmy.ml full of ultras? Or is that what you’re talking about in saying they didn’t send their best?
If it is full of ultras, do you know of an instance(?) that either critically supports AES countries or at least has more of a mixed set of users? I don’t mind debate, but on every single comment it would get tiring.
Lemmy.ml is largely Marxist-Leninist, ultras are few on the fediverse. If you want an instance that is explicitly ML, then there’s Lemmygrad.ml. Hexbear.net is left-unity but doesn’t allow sectarianism, and is generally ML/anarchist, not generally ultra.
I have an account on lemmygrad as well so that’s good news to me. I’m now thinking that it’s more of an issue of me not fully grasping how the instances are organised having come from reddit.
That’s one of the things I like about blahaj, same as Hexbear. It would be cool if blahaj and Hexbear would refederate, but I understand why that’s unlikely.
Yep, used to be very frequent. They’re easy to spot because they’re either no content accounts, or old accounts, with maybe 1 comment per month. We permaban them as they add nothing of value.
I don’t know what it is about this post in particular, but the threadiverse isn’t sending its best 🤷
Edit to add: Some of them were so angry that they broke out their alt accounts to downvote some more.

Many do come around, Lemmy is quite good at radicalizing and educating in my experience.

Thanks for your input, my friend :)
No problem, comrade!
Jokes on them, my instance ignores down votes. Lol

How frequent are alt-downvotes?

Isn’t that just lurking behaviour?
Makes sense!
They get Rule 4, “No Ads / Spamming,” because they’re spamming votes.
Not as frequent as they used to be.
Gotcha.
