There was a lot of dog whistle racism is subs like r/publicfreakout

Any community as large as Reddits is going to have a some arseholes but it largely depended on which sort of subs you were subscribed to.

Fair, I never went on those subs and I'd imagine most Redditors didn't. I'd also imagine there are some Lemmy instances which are just as bad if not worse. I guess that's a bit different because federation means those communities are isolated from other instances, but I don't know if practically it's any different when it's so easy to have accounts across multiple instances. I'd imagine anyone using one of those highly isolated instances on Lemmy will have an account on another instance.

No most redditors most definitely Loved those places. Top of r/All every day. Same with r/CrazyFVideos and r/trashy. IDK people say most redditors are bots

4.6 million subscribers all time out of 1.7 billion monthly active users. Roughly the 90th most popular subreddit, which is quite large but it's still a fraction of a percent of users.

I got banned from that sub for having common sense.
