A new study links partisan activity on the Internet to widespread online toxicity, revealing that politically-engaged users exhibit uncivil behavior even in non-political discussions. The findings are based on an analysis of hundreds of millions of comments from over 6.3 million Reddit users.
Idk. Guess its just experience here. I’ve posted rather controversial opinions about third parties in the States, never once been accused of being republican or whatever gambit. Even with that cop thing I saw lots of hexbear posts saying that kind of stuff but that’s normal for hexbear users.
It’s legit probably the instance. Maybe you’re posting on politics on bhalaj zone and im posting on politics on lemmy.ca. I just browse whatevers on the front page of Kbin which is a mishmash of stuff.
At least its better than Reddit which is just all astroturf and /r/politics who are either bots or so blind theyre not worth engaging with at all.
