I naively walked into Lemmy thinking it might be a friendlier respite from the echo chamber that is Reddit. I was wrong. From everything I've seen, it's just a more concentrated pit, where all people want to hear are their opinions repeated, plugging their senses from anything contrary.
I also wanted/hoped this would be a place where people wouldn't get downvoted and cast away just for stating different opinions. Nope. It's the same old emphasized emotional outrage, where you can't even offer a different take without a virtual lynching.
I don't want to see that from the left or right. Civility would be nice for a change...
Edit: I see the downvotes are starting. I guess I can soon expect to be attacked by weak expletive rage because my colors don't match the hive.
