I experience Lemmy as a reflection of many of the problems in the world; there seems to be little effort to understand and respect different viewpoints. Instead of being curious about opinions one disagrees with, the community often feels almost aggressive. People end up in their own trenches. What about trying to be more open and curious about our differences instead?
Apparently we believe in freedom of speech—so long as the speech is something we agree with…
I’ve seen the opposite. I’ve enjoyed conversation’s here and people generally have good facts to back up their point. There’s a few assholes but way less than reddit. I’m worried it will get worse though.
That’s interesting that experiences can vary so widely here. People are way more rude here, I’ve found. And way more sexist. Or at least more sexist on the surface. At least on Reddit you’d have to seek out incel communities to see the more depraved views about women.
Reddit has normies now and Lemmy is more basement nerds so that’s probably why.
Reddit has women now. Ftfy
Pretty Much ha
Hopefully more women will join lemmy. It’s quite the cesspool in here.
