    There are too many dimwits who think Lemmy was made so that they can build their echo chambers. So, there is no discourse, just stupid people encouraging stupid people. Anyone that comments otherwise is immediately removed.

    Most mods are dumdums. Most are obviously politically and ideologically motivated. It’s their job to prune anything they disagree with, which means they can’t help themselves and ban everyone. Most of the time it’s a complete waste of time to comment in smaller subs. The dumdums have taken hold either by making the subs and controlling them, or by volunteering as mods with no oversight.

      Last week there was a woke-not-woke argument in certain StarTrek post that was like one quite moderate guy against 1000 angry people. At least in reddit there was some debate posible and it was respectful for the most part, here you get dilapidated before even be able to explain yourself. Lemmy is too politically driven as you said. And that’s insufferable.

        If everyone else disagrees with you, it might be time to do some self-reflection

        Or blame politics, it’s the easy option when cognitive dissonance becomes overbearing

          I tend to think that : where there is a ton of people that adopt an aggressive and absolute position against you there’s a ton of people silent that are afraid or tired of fighting against a tide ( or is caloric economy) . I agreed somehow with the guy but I didn’t say a thing to avoid the pain.

          And to be honest this Star Trek thing is going on and on since some years ago so no… imho is not something clear or absolute.

          Politics REALLY are ruining a lot of things nowadays.

        Six months ago lemmy was infinitely better than reddit in that regard. It’s gotten worse because people from Reddit are here now, and brought their idiocy with them.

            I don’t think is the bad people of reddit but the people Who want to fight that found lemmy as a mean to clash with reddit … but once here is not about fighting but make it flourish and build community so… maybe people is unable to stop clashing everywhere. Fight is the nature of … that people.

          Idiocy is not exclusive to Reddit. Different Lemmy servers were born based solely on stupidity.

      Like in real life, the people wanting to be in charge are usually the people who should not be in charge.
