so far I’ve experienced a ton of whataboutism and really sus views/devils advocate type shit on here (lemme.ml) that makes me not want to browse. is there a better alternative that’s not saying “why can’t we all just have our own opinion ❤️🌈” on shit like genocide and anti LGBT culture
Absolutely not. But I must say that I don’t miss the toxicity at all. Being on the (liberal?) Fediverse has done wonders for my mental health. There’s little tolerance for bullshittery and that helps foster a stronger sense of real community for a greater cause in my mind.
As long as you don’t go into any post regarding the Ukraine war…
…for now.
Once you get critical mass it’s a race to the dumbest post.
I am trying to get there, but so far I don’t seem to be dumb enough. Please kick me when I make it.
It’s what happens with a small community. Interaction and discussion VS lowest common denominator humour for mass votes.
We all want Lemmy to succeed, but that only means that it’ll turn back into reddit. It’s the natural cycle of social media.
Come a day, we’ll all end up back on Fark and the cycle will repeat itself.
