I have not found that too be true. In fact I am getting more negative replies here than Reddit for similar comments. Like I just had one linking me to the whataboutism definition, but my comment they were replying too was the opposite. Unsure if a dumb bot triggered on a keyword or a person who didn’t understand the definition they sent. Been lots of little micro aggressions here. Wonder if the crowd or AI a grouping is using to sour the experience.
Go back to Reddit. I read through your post and you are a snowflake. I believe you’re looking for an echo chamber, which hopefully will not be found here.
I mean all it takes is to read this comment from you and then your post history to realize who you are. Name calling is just an emotional reaction and not discourse.
I sadly have to agree... I see that this post has a 2:1 up/down ratio. I was hoping that people with different opinions would speak up more because I would love to hear them
Edit: congrats on publishing your blog! It’s cool that your put yourself out there. Hope you have a good night.
(My comment wasn’t nice, didn’t realize op wrote it and now feel embarrassed)
As you may have seen, that was my first blog post. It would be nice if you actually had something constructive to say. Care to elaborate on why you don't agree?
(Edit: Spelling)
Oh shit. lol no I’ll just edit my comment and not say anything rude
You didn't have to do that. If you feel embarrassed saying something rude, just don't but if you disagree with me, please do tell. I love hearing different perspectives, it makes you grow as a person.
Personally I am sick of reading that the feddiverse is confusing and never going to take off or never going to do this or that. Even if it’s true, which time will tell. It’s like the same article over and over. I thought your blog was just any other random article like “What is the feddiverse? Well it’s this and it’s cool but it’s overhyped”
Maybe those of us who are trying to make Lemmy, mastodon etc happen are too sensitive about it 🤷🏻♂️
The Fediverse isn't confusing imo. I don't think it's overhyped at all, either. “Cool” doesn't even begin to describe how awesome all this is. Seeing the numbers go up and up, more people joining, making this a nice place fills my heart with joy. I just don't see it becoming a mainstream thing even though many people probably want it to be mainstream.
I would love to say this post was dead-wrong in a couple of years but only time will tell.
Ok we agree I would love to see it as well 😬😂
Glad we cleared this up :) Have an awesome night!
Genuinely ...
Awwww 😊
Lemmy is a massive left-wing echochamber though. It’s honestly a problem.
You're more than welcome to make a cogent argument for right-wing policies. Please, by all means, convince us that "fuck the poor", "fuck immigrants, but also fuck indigenous people", and a dictatorship of the wealthy is what's honestly best for people, communities, and the environment.
I've been waiting 25 years to hear the case for right-wing policy, but all anyone ever seems to say is "fuck you, I got mine", and there's nothing to say back to that other than "well, fuck off with yours and leave the rest of us alone, then".
What would you consider an example of "right wing" speech? In 2023 that usually means bigotry or misinformation, and I can't help but agree that I don't see any point in allowing that, but I'm willing to be convinced that there's more than that.
According to you?
I'm about as far left as they come, but yeah it's definitely a fairly strong left wing echo chamber, and thay absolutely can very quickly become a problem.
I'm not even talking about "silencing the right" or whatever those chucklefucks want to complain about. We're not there yet (nor are we particularly close at the moment), but I've seen plenty of communities turn into a hivemind because they're not careful about that sort of stuff.
Your claim to be leftist does not strengthen your opinions strength. I want an echo chamber of users with empathy. That by definition excludes all on the right. Why the fuck should I care about the opinion of a sociopath.
Really?
I would think then that at the very least, you wouldn't be such an asshole.
If you’re trying to disagree then you’re just delusional.
60% of the US has empathy and 40% does not. I don’t give a shit about the opinion of those without because I already know what it is. Take your left/right paradigm bullshit away and talk about personality traits. I want an echo chamber of those with empathy. If you define that as “leftist” then yes.
I really think the typical Lemmy user falls into a lot of the same trappings as the typical Reddit user. It’s especially obvious on political or otherwise emotionally charged topics. In the end it doesn’t really matter if you are downvoted or not, it’s just an imaginary number.
But it’s definitely organic, not trolls or bots; just an inevitability of online spaces
