I’m always surprised by the quality of comments on Lemmy and the analysis provided, often by experts in their field. It gives a sense that the average Lemmy user is a lot smarter than the average member of the public.

Also, when it comes to politics, I think the average Lemmy user is pretty perceptive of what real power dynamics are at play and what interests society should be looking to promote.

It’s been a pleasure to be on this platform with you all. Where do you all come from? And why is it so hard to find people like you in the real world?

    That’s a small number of people.

    There’s also the people who were IP banned from other social media sites like reddit. They’re not choosing to be here, this is just all they have.

    I’m also pretty sure OP just changed some old reddit copy paste thing to Lemmy, and people are legitimately believing it

      Meh I’m here not just because I got banned from Reddit but for why I got banned from Reddit.

      I told some troglodyte to crawl back into his hole and got permabanned for “threats of violence”.

      My foot was already out the door due to a lot of the censorship rules as it was so this was just the final nail in the coffin.
