Yeah i hear you. Reddit was white on average but Lemmy/Kbin feels like baby powder on top of fresh snow

Reddit has the worst most awful userbase (it was literally created to be a hangout for pedo-nazis) but has the benefit of normal people diluting the toxic shitheads, so as long as the moderators aren't actively suppressing a community they tend to be pretty normal on average.

Only problem is that it's nearly impossible to find a subreddit that isn't suppressed to shit by both the mods and astroturf bots.

What do you mean by "actively surpressing a community?"

Do you have any articles on the origin of Reddit? It came out of Digg, right?

So white someone will make a trending post on a Linux memes community about "coonfigers" and no one has a problem with it.

Honestly looks like it sailed right over everyone's head too. I guess that's a good thing?

Bruh I saw that shit, but I didn't feel like walking into the comment section to fight that day.
