Now that a lot of the commotion has subsided I'm just curious to know how y'all are finding the Lemmy experience in general and whether you use it regularly like you did reddit?

It's quite good as long as a thread is not political. As soon as anything even remotely political starts being discussed, it devolves into an absolute shitshow, political opinions on Lemmy seem to be much more extreme than on Reddit for some reason.

I think it could be because Reddit has more users from the US, and the fediverse is more a mixed bunch.

It's because there are prominent leftist/communist communities here, so obviously they are threads in /all and comment
