Is Lemmy getting more radical lately? (lemm.ee)

Have seen a few posts popping up recently just straight up calling fo violence barely disguised as memes

Had thought Lemmy had chilled out a bit on that kinda thing for a while but seems to be coming back now

Anyone else noticing the same or just me?

Yes and no.

There are more calls for violence, yes.

But a lot of people on Lemmy have a lot of catching up to do in understanding the world, nuances and getting rid of outdated and harmful thinking stagnated by clinging onto certain ideologies and belief systems.

That would be way more 'radical' than just violence alone.

Lemmy started as tankie safe-haven, and those memes are all over, not just on lemmy.
So I'd say, no.
