Fewer people, fewer idiots. I'm glad that people here are actually sane.
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.
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.
"I want an echo chamber of users with empathy"
You don't even want an echo chamber, you want a cult. No thanks
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.
You can't openly say that you want a leftist echo chamber. Hence you cover it up in the name of "empathy". Good other way around mindgame
It is. But not as much big and toxic as reddit. They are desperately trying to achieve it
