I think the biggest flaw lemmy has is the upvote/downvote system, same as on reddit. The arrows are used as an agree/disagree indicator, which buries unpopular opinions and rewards popular “low-risk” ones, thus creating the same echo-chambers we’re all so tired of.





It happens in smaller cities too. A few months ago, a man died in a bus where I live. Nobody noticed or cared except for some guy who called the emergency line. But get this, he did it after getting off the bus (because he didn’t want to be late or something), so the ambulance had to find and follow the moving bus around town. It feels like we’re all growing colder and more disconnected.
