Haven't been on Lemmy long, but does this shit happen here too?

There's less, but there are some insane Zionist posters that never seem to catch a ban, and their insane comments often stay up or only get removed after quite a delay

Examples of clear Zionist posters that post actual insane takes are:

(These are just examples from the top of my head but there's a few more.)

Granted it's not nearly as insane here as on Reddit where the entire r/worldnews sub is filled with bots screaming for the genocide of every Palestinian child. But we have a few of them here.

Just went over to Reddit to see how it is and goddamn lmao. Even that new r/Isrealexposed subreddit gets astroturfed hard with known trolls being called in to defend genocidal actions taken by the IDF. Fucking wild.

I don't know why people think Lemmy would be different. It's the same people as on Reddit, and mods have just as much trouble managing it.

There was a time when redditors were the few newcomers. Some came to Lemmy because it was different, others joined simply to leave Reddit. So now we got communities and instances with discords for brigading each other.
