Can I say the majority of Lemmy users are anti-capitalist or big corp?

  • I'm anti-abortion in most cases, though I do see room for exceptions. I'm for a small government, though living in Australia I have seen that there is a place for the government to provide certain services that tend towards monopolies or that are vital to national security, like utilities, defense, etc. I don't agree with how we currently approach transgenderism: I believe it's a mental illness with devastating effects on its sufferers and that surgery and drugs are a blunt way to try and deal with it. I'm anti-immigration on a mass-scale, and I think allowing manufacturing to be decimated by globalism was a big mistake that we shouldn't have allowed.

    That's just a few off the top of my head.

    • So... are Lemmy users also generally crypto supporters?

  • The name for a system where you get people to buy valueless assets and drive up their price so you can sell yours and leave others holding the bag is: "Ponzi scheme."

    No, that's a Greater Fool scheme. A Ponzi is more centralized and the people who get paid out are not supposed to be aware that the money is coming from new investors. Ponzi schemes hide that aspect of it. In a Greater Fool you are betting on someone being dumber than yourself enough to buy your worthless investment at a higher price.

    A lot of crypto is Greater Fool, but there have been crypto Ponzi schemes.

    As a side note, there is a cultural tendency to call all scams Ponzis when they are not. It is a specific type of scam.

  • I think most users on here lean left one way or another.

    I'm a conservative and that's not popular here at all.

    • Idk y’all, I see a lot of angry posts about Reddit still because of being essentially forced out, however!

  • Don't forget a complete failure to ever monetize the site correctly. They've never made a profit lol.

    • What from reddit do you hope to never see on lemmy?

    Jump

  • Power mods... Except they are already here and banning opinions they don't like. Good thing it's super easy to make a new account on here.

    • The Zuck suck is in full swing.

  • Oh God I forgot about that lmao, what a fucking idiot. I wonder how many of his fellow Proud Boys tried it out too 🤣

  • It's not that, it's more that usually comments that are heavily downvoted get hidden and so see less real discussion, plus reddit starts rate-limiting you when you're heavily downvoted.

    Lemmy seems to be better in that I might get downvoted, which is fine I don't give a fuck, but you don't get limited so you can still reply and have discussions.

  • Lol I think you know why, this place probably leans pretty left.

    I don't mind, I might not agree with most politics on here but fuck it I didn't on reddit anyway. There isn't even karma here.

    • Will threads mainstream the fediverse?

    Jump

  • Lol

    • Permanent ban on last day with Apollo app. Called u/Spez a cunt in a message 😂

  • Geez, was it really that long ago? Crazy
