If you have the right opinions Lemmy can be a comfortable place.

Thank you, that is such a reasonable and intelligent response.

Agreed. The userbase is a bit too homogeneous. Also if you say something remotely positive or try to bring some nuance to topics that have a strong circle jerk value on Lemmy you’ll get downvoted into oblivion.

Tesla drivers are now Nazis?

I use X pretty much daily and I have no idea where you are getting this from. Haven’t seen a single nazi post.

What does that do?

As long as we keep posting content and the users continue to slowly grow there is hope.

I still visit reddit to get relevant info to cross post to the communities I’m keeping alive here on Lemmy. And I’ve noticed a significant decline in the subbs I used to frequent. I can’t be the only one noticing this? I mean like it’s extremely easy to notice as you might go days without content on several subreddits that used be active. They are niche subs, but still…

Countries are still increasing their defence spending. My investment in Raytheon that was done over 6 months ago has netted me a negative increase of -2,42%.

It’s never late enough for you to beat that.

From my own experience chat gpt has regressed in the answers I get. Bard has actually started to give me answers that are more usable.

My father in law is in complete denial. According to him they moved all the measurement equipment so that it favours “the Agenda” and gives wrong readings. He also claimes CO2 isnt a greenhouse gas. Sigh…

and what is the bullshit?

Call me out on my facts. What part about it do you have an issue with?

So if im telling factual information about twitters debt situation and get downvoted into oblivion that makes it not true? Is this your logic?

Lemmy is the future. Most of the subs are chill as you say. I’ve just got a niche interest in a car Company that has a CEO that shouldn’t tweet or say so much stupid shit. You seem pretty chill as well, hope you have a great weekend.

We may not agree on everything but thanks anyway for engaging in discourse.

Cheers to you as well.

Lemmy has potential but it’s not good when pointing out nuances will get you brigaded. Hating or loving Elon isn’t really the point as I’m interested in discussions that seek to be as truthful as possible. Just see my comment history and you will see what I talk about.

But honestly why do you want me to leave?

To a certain degree I agree with you. But, if you don’t follow the narrative, things are quite different. An example of this is the prevalent anti-Elon narrative. Even pointing out nuances will result in you being brigaded.

If you can’t see that this mob mentality of attacking users instead of addressing their key points in an argument is detrimental to the platform than we are not heading anywhere productive. Lemmy will simply be reduced to an echo chamber of older users who don’t accept or are even willing to engage in honest argumentation.
