Somewhat, but the way federated instances are set up, it’s not nearly as bad or easily abused.
Not as if making a new Reddit account was that much of a roadblock, either. They accept 10minutemail addresses.
And this is where you went? This is literally Reddit’s bias taken to the level of hyperbole. The extremism groupthink here is the primary reason it hasn’t and likely will never go mainstream.
What? Where have you been that you have this kind of opinion?
It’s basically the same as reddit: You do have your bubbles, you do have open minded communities, you also have closed minded communities. Your experience is therefore dependend on where you go.
For example: Joining a vegan server to say “meat is great” will lead to a shitshow. But that’s not supprising and it’s not because Lemmy per se harbors militant people.
Uhm, the worldnews subreddit is literally the most astroturfed online community I have ever seen in my entire life. Lemmy isn’t great because it still has Redditors on it, but it’s still nowhere near as bad as Reddit.
I’m not surprised. I’m on this site because I’m sick of being banned on reddit for thinking wrong.
It’s the same here
If it’s like that on lemmy.ca then why not go to a different Lemmy host or make your own. Both things that are not an option for Reddit
The “wrong” is different here.

You are at -20 and I can still read you just fine. On reddit they would have banned you, got you fired from your job and stolen your cat.
And if they right mod or person complains, gotten your account banned.

Yeah, but try saying something slightly to nuanced about the Israel - Palestine situation almost anywhere here and you get nuked.
OK let’s try.
Zionist are blood thirsty monster
Hamas are terrorists
Hezbollah has no dicks left (wore pager in front) And no one in america who isn’t a vile glowie, can put these shitholes countries on the map
And none, NONE of us gives the slightest wind of a fart about anyone in the mideast.
Stop Zogging our governments for goddamned free bombs, you fucking bunch of revolting murdereous assholes.
That should do it ! Text me if you can still read this in a week.
Yep same thing happened to me
