With .ml you can sometimes still have a good discussion. Maybe because the community is so big. And not everyone who joins knows ml stands for Marxist-Leninist.

But those other 2 are chock full of extremists.

I finally blocked all of Lemmy.ml. You are correct of course, but the rare times someone says even a passable comment simply is not worth all the times I see the most bat shit insane replies, none of which I have to see ever again now.:-) I find that tradeoff worthwhile for myself at least.

Lemmy.world communities can get that way too obviously, as you say because of the size, but still... it's different, the ratios of worthwhile to not worthwhile comments.

A couple of years ago it was not this way, but time has passed and nowadays it seems to become (every so slightly) increasingly true.

I always saw those two as something like far left indoctrination camps where people learn and practice astroturfing techniques.
