The political opinions of the average Lemmy user are a lot more radical and the users themselves come off as a lot more arrogant than the average Reddit user.
Which is honestly shocking to me because I thought Redditors were bad. I block any community that is about politics or users that try to inject politics where it isn’t pertinent.
What’s radical in the US is common sense in a lot of places.
To the downvoters: Isn’t universal healthcare considered radical by many in the US? How about free college? Or, most of the stuff that Bernie Sanders wanted and was considered “too radical”, except his political view would be considered somewhat conservative where I’m from.

Seriously, I mainly use Eternity (the Infinity fork) and even with aggressive filtering for anything even remotely political, stuff slips through.
Edit: And the built-in lemmy blocking features aren’t nearly enough to cut through it all.
