i foud out about this place a few days ago… upon arriving i saw some misinformation spreading around. I called dit out and the response has been bullying name calling and being told to leave he site. is this what lemmy is?
Just wanna check before I go…
before ya go, ‘lemmy’ is a software package used by many, many different server-instances with their own moderation levels. its not a ‘site’ so much as an ecosystem.
for example, youve posted this to lemmy.ml, one of the most heavy handed of the instances with regards to moderation. you should try out other instances like lemmy.world or even other products that get you the same data with less moderation (https://moist.catsweat.com)
youve just dipped your foot in the pool, dont leave because of a few mosquitos
Misinformation on news, and any person that tries to corrects it gets bullied outta there… ain’t a small thing though.
I would say that is quite a big thing. Specifically.news subs.
I think I was on world but still figuring it out. Thanks!
You wanted to find an argument and you did. Now you want to cry that nobody agreed with you?
Get the fuck outta here.

That’s the current state of humanity on and offline. We deserve to die as a species.
Don’t rat us out to the trisolarians
Checking your comments you seem to have had a run-in with the ML-crowd. Lemmy generally has a plethora of “leftist” (if you restrict your political compass to one dimension) communities, although the variety is immense. Let’s just say there is some … unfriendly turf here on the Fediverse. Plenty of people on the German communities avoid .ml communities.
I consider it to be the price of diversity. Due to the lack of central moderation (except on authoritarianism-loving instances), communities are much more self-regulating. On better (aka not US-politics) communities people tend to simply disagree or discuss, but rarely go beyond that.

Which is highly populated by .ml (such as you, which is not an inherently negative thing) and people that probably come from that line of thinking. Tbf I did not check what instance the people in question were on, so you are right for calling me out on simply assuming so. Regardless, OP was posting somewhat controversial statements and was met with a crowd that considers the statements “police officers are humans, too” to be controversial.
