 My experience with Lemmy  (reddit clone) was that it was primarily inhabited by reds. I assume it's the same on Reddit proper but admittedly I don't know. My experience with Reddit itself is minimal. I hope that the arrivals from Reddit can become purple. In approximately one week on Lemmy, just for expressing conservative opinions, I was banned from one instance and one user attempted to dox me, encouraging other users to harass me with emails and phone calls. That's why I use an anonymous identity here. I have found the harassment on nostr to be very minimal. I hope that does not change with the arrival of Reddit users. If I'm being too paranoid, please forgive me. Please understand that my previous bad experience causes me to be concerned.
