    I’ve wanted Reddit to burn for awhile. It devolved into nothing but a circle jerk.

      Good thing Lemmy instances aren’t made from much smaller communities where everyone has more or less the same opinion…

      Unless Lemmy would be considered more of an echo chamber for their respective communities versus a circlejerk?

        I’d argue that individual instances aren’t all that important. Im on a smaller instances and hardly ever bump into people from my own instance.

        When instances start defederating and closing some instances off, I could see, but even then those users would just make another account elsewhere to participate in the “all” of lemmy

          I hardly bump into people. Period. Most I see are posts with zero engagement

      Unlike Lemmy where, god forbid, someone has a center or right wing opinion?

      Edit: welp…

        It’s not just centre or right opinions, anything that’s not full on Stalinist genocide is downvoted and reported furiously. Basically the same shit as on Reddit.

          “Why is everyone persecuting me for having a different opinion?!” they cried.

          Check out their comment history for context. Such insightful tidbits as “every leftist should be in jail”, “Go live in North Korea”, and my favorite, “wut, are you an idiot?”.

          It’s the same shit as Reddit because you’re the same shit on both platforms.

            Yeah, if you’re supporting genocidal regimes, go live in North Korea. You don’t belong in a civilised society with such logic.

              Clearly someone who disagrees with you or calls out your…checks notes… bad behavior must support genocidal regimes. It’s only natural!

              Why is it those who make arguments about logic so often are completely lacking in the ability to use it?
