  • this place is still so small and the culture here seems overwhelmingly more judgmental then what I’m usually used to I have to agree. People originally came to Lemmy for some “fresh air”. How about discussions without having to call anyone that disagrees with you an “asshole”? I really wanted Lemmy to take off but in my opinion it turned off many as Lemmy turned into a belief narrative. If you don’t 100% toe the line of the narrative you are condemned. And piled on by many others who also believe anyone with an opinion different than theirs’s has to be “eradicated.” I tried starting groups and participating in groups that dealt with interests that would avoid all the bullshit name calling. And most of them got zero traction, and slowly died to zero participation. I still enjoy coming here and participating in some of the groups. I also prefer interacting with smaller numbers of users than the thousands in many reddit groups.

    Ironically my point will be made by this comment being downvoted. And also rather than posted “replies” having a civil conversation about the issue, there will be you are an “asshole” comments
