Lemmy has been ok for me. I get on it whenever I feel like it and leave whenever I can't deal with the politics anymore

    It's much better here without an algorithm, but on the other hand the user base feels pretty ruthless where the blandest opinions net you down votes and angry replies. I only feel safe with jokes and factoids. I think I'm slowly reaching the point where I'll either stop using any online platforms altogether or just 100% lurk.
