When I joined lemmy there were sooooo many Stalinists and people essentially dick riding totalitarian states like the DPRK and Russia (modern day).

I blocked these communities and didn’t look back till now. I was curious to see what was happening here, hence visited Lemmygrad again. Sure, there is a pro China bias here. But uk, there’s a pro US bias on other instances as well, so whatever. Sure, I do see some pro Russia (modern day) dumbasses as well. But this is nothing compared to what was there back then.

Turns out I mostly agree with the posts here. Most of the stuff here seems to be good faith discussions. This was definitely not the case a few months ago.

So what happened? How did people here cool down so much?
