Lemmy has its quirks and it has its own distinct cliques, for sure. Posting specific viewpoints on some specific instances can be a bit awkward, especially for new users. Let's just say that if you haven't been called a capitalist pig baby killer at least once on Lemmy, you haven't had the full, well rounded experience.

All in all, Lemmy is fairly nice but people can still play follow the leader with comments. That is a curse with all social media, I'm afraid.

I'm guessing your instance hasn't blocked Hexbear and Lemmygrad yet.

That specific incident happened a while ago, just as those were getting more widely blocked. There is still an instance or two that can be vocal, but it's not nearly as bad as it was.
