Feel pretty much the same. The echo chambers seem to be as bad if not worse than Reddit. People just don’t want diverse opinions. Everything is black or white regardless of the problem. I will probably leave soon. I honestly don’t feel like lemmy and the type of people it attracts are good for my mental health.
I’ll probably be sticking around, but for sure the echo chambers are worse than probably every social media I’ve tried (which admittedly isn’t very many). Imo it’s easily the worst part of Lemmy, and it’s a self-feeding problem. I don’t think the bottleneck to lemmy’s growth is technical anymore, but a culture thing. Personally I’m hesitant to share lemmy with other people in real life because I’m scared that they’ll think I’m a tankie.
Sorry to hear. !casualconversation@lemmy.world tries to be more laid-back conversation. We are also trying to get !moviesandtv@lemm.ee going after losing the previous community. Movies hopefully are not as polarised as other topics
I’ve had a similar experience. I have actually engaged with the tankies in good faith on several occasions, and it has just gotten those account banned for I guess being a leftist heretic? For arguing that there is more to socialism than Marxist orthodoxy? For opposing campists? Idk, they really seem to dislike that, and these days It’s pretty obvious that the worst sin on ml is making tankies look dumb by actually knowing even basic political science.
@SpookyUnderwear What sort of opinions are you looking for as you mentioned you don’t like the Linux, Tankies and stuff like that (Sure I don’t really like seeing everything about Linux) but what is the ideal ‘community’ for you?
