    Yes, some of them can overreact at time, I’ve seen it first hand, but in general, most of them are generally fairly reasonable people.

    There isn’t anyone to defuse the situation. Most of reddit is US based, thus they don’t like communism, lemmy is made by people with socialist/communist beliefs, thus, things get hairy. It’s not so much the fact that they’re socialists/communists, the problem is mostly the eviliziation that communism received in the US during the cold war. People are scared of them, they were presented as evil in western media. Some things that were done were just wrong and evil, I’ll grant them that, no doubt, but so did the US. A perfect example is MK Ultra. And that’s only the things we know about, imagine how many things we have no idea that happened on both sides.

    My point is, there are evil people and doings everywhere. The ideas behind democracy and communism are both pretty good (ecah one in it’s own way), but let’s face it, some of them were either poorly implemented, ignored or something completely oposite was done.
