There are too many dimwits who think Lemmy was made so that they can build their echo chambers. So, there is no discourse, just stupid people encouraging stupid people. Anyone that comments otherwise is immediately removed.

Most mods are dumdums. Most are obviously politically and ideologically motivated. It's their job to prune anything they disagree with, which means they can't help themselves and ban everyone. Most of the time it's a complete waste of time to comment in smaller subs. The dumdums have taken hold either by making the subs and controlling them, or by volunteering as mods with no oversight.

Last week there was a woke-not-woke argument in certain StarTrek post that was like one quite moderate guy against 1000 angry people. At least in reddit there was some debate posible and it was respectful for the most part, here you get dilapidated before even be able to explain yourself. Lemmy is too politically driven as you said. And that's insufferable.

Six months ago lemmy was infinitely better than reddit in that regard. It's gotten worse because people from Reddit are here now, and brought their idiocy with them.

Idiocy is not exclusive to Reddit. Different Lemmy servers were born based solely on stupidity.

I don't think is the bad people of reddit but the people Who want to fight that found lemmy as a mean to clash with reddit .. but once here is not about fighting but make it flourish and build community so.. maybe people is unable to stop clashing everywhere. Fight is the nature of ... that people.

I can understand why. Maybe is just a matter of time and things will be OK after a while.

Funny enough, this is the same exact reason why Reddit sucks. Those same idiots who made that platform insufferable have migrated here and made this already insufferable place even more insufferable.

Like in real life, the people wanting to be in charge are usually the people who should not be in charge.
