To me it feels like a matured Reddit. (At least most of the time 🙃)

    Yeah, the “genetic” there isn’t related to our chunks of DNA, it’s there for “origin”. Think on it as “the fallacy of the genesis of the argument”.

    When it comes to racism Lemmy is way better than Reddit, since the typical user here has better reading comprehension. In Reddit you can outright say something racist and nobody will bat an eye, as long as you avoid easy-to-spot words like slurs; here it doesn’t work. Same deal with transphobia, misogyny etc.

      I am not sure if reading comprehension is the reason hate gets to stay on Reddit. I think it’s genuine denial and/or acceptance from the mods, and especially acceptance from admin.
