A few weeks ago it was great here. Interactions were mostly positive. But now I am beginning to see the same thing that happened to Reddit happen to Lemmy: people are bringing their color politics into every conversation. Like, a comment can be just a comment, upvoting or downvoting it doesn’t mean that you’re supporting/betraying Republicans or Democrats.
Don’t you know that’s just [insert political/social/idealogical bad group] rhetoric? Of course they’d want us all to just ignore the intense politics present in boring bog standard opinions and prentend like people can converse without making grand political statements! [Boogeyman of the week] wants us docile and disengaged from the complete everpresent idealogical war which only a select few can perceive! I have to connect this to every facet of my life to satisfy my obsession or then my therapist might be right that I’m delusional!
I commented on this when encountering the 2nd type of person on here. As it gains popularity you’ll encounter more of them, it’s inevitable.
