I recently came across a Reddit post with a greentext also posted here a few weeks before (by me). While the one here got downvoted, the one on Reddit got over two thousand upvotes. Don’t take me wrong however, this has led me to realize how much morals differ between the two platforms; it seems to me like Lemmings have overall better morals in general. I’ve come to appreciate this. Evidence like this shows how much better Lemmy is as a community (excluding lemmygrad) when compared to Reddit. Instead of becoming what you swore to destroy, you became better a better version. I thought you all would find this interesting.

    What I find annoying about these memes is that it’s always about how Germany killed 6 million Jews during ww2, while they actually killed 17 million ordinary people in ethnically motivated mass killings. That’s 11 miillions victims of ethnic cleansing that seem to be forgotten.

    Did that post call Hitler the n word? That probably has more to do with the downvotes here

      I just checked the OOP on Reddit, and it is indeed censored there (not just censored by OP here). Lemmy version does not seem to be similarly censored. You may be onto something.

      I’m seriously anything but a Mao simp. But afaik, the famine in China wasn’t done on purpose, while the Germans industrialized murder.

    Reddit content is posted by bots and/or upvoted by related bot farms. No human general morality is involved in what gets popular.

      I went back to Reddit the other day because there was a thread discussing the exact problem I was trying to solve. Like 3/8 of the comments were ChatGPT outputs that were added to the thread years after it was posted
