“bigger piece of garbage” is a strong word. However I do think that Lemmy is too homogenous politically, making it an echo chamber, which is objectively a bad thing.
You can see how eager the vegans brigade you when you say anything bad about PETA.
The same goes to the militant atheists (an irony by itself) commenting all the news of Pope’s death with insults.
To these people, there’s no nuance. Capitalism is nothing but greed. All religions are a bunch of pedophile rings. Meat industry should be abolished. Everything is black and white, there’s no in-between.
Honestly, I’m sick of this myself. Everything has to align with their political view as if that political view defines their whole identity and they’d be nobody without it.
To the cowards who are about to downvote this, I dare you to actually comment. Come on, throw shit at me and get it out of your system.
I get the point your making. But I feel your aggravation, and it makes me aggravated. It feels like ya just want to argue. If you wanted to have a good faith discussion you wouldn’t portray the other side like that.
The one thing I’ll say is that political homogeny can be called an echo chamber or a community depending on your angle. If you never leave it’s an echo chamber, but if you have other sources then its just a community. I wouldn’t call that objectively a bad thing.
Hot take: Lemmy is an even bigger piece of garbage than Reddit.
