    Will we keep seeing this kind of shit on Lemmy?

    Yes, because Lemmy was created as an alternative to platforms owned by the capitalist class. https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Lemmy#History

    Lemmy was created in August 2019 by two communist developers known as Dessalines and Nutomic. Their goal for Lemmy was to provide an open-source alternative to Reddit that anyone could self-host and federate with other Lemmy instances, effectively exchanging content between platforms.

    Is propaganda going to always be here thanks to the absence of moderation?

    Propaganda is everywhere, regardless of moderation, but fascist propaganda tends to flourish in the absence of moderation, as the *chan sites show.

      Thanks for your reply. I was hoping Lemmy to become more popular ane replace reddit but maybe we shouldn’t wish it to be more popular…

        Nobody is posting “this kind of shit” on sh.itjust.works. The beauty of the threadiverse is its federation. Each Lemmy instance is moderated independently.

        Also, you can and should curate your feed. If you don’t like [email protected], then remove it from your feed by blocking it or unsubscribing from it.
