As good as Lemmy is I do have to wonder sometimes if the inability for a separate leftist reddit-like community to exist and grow without embarrassing levels of wrecking is an inherent disadvantage of the format itself. It’s like it’s engineered in a lab for the most egoist, dogshit takes to bubble to the top and something Lemmygrad has only narrowly avoided by making people take a no-shit purity test to filtered out the worst of it.

That gonna stop me and my ADHD brain from checking this habitually? Oh fuck no. But it’s reassuring to know it’s a problem of the format itself and not the movement.
