Lemmy probably feels like Reddit when it first started, all warm cuddly and friendly to newcomers eager to discuss and collaborate around central topics.
I joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.

This has to be rage bait. Such an obvious and pathetic strawman. That is not what the paradox of intolerance means. It means that a society, in order to truly be considered tolerant, must not tolerate intolerance; allowing intolerance only lets it fester and spread, and soon you are no longer a tolerant society.
It's a hateful creed adopted by the left to not only excuse, but treat as a demand to be intolerant.
It may sound sensible in normal times, but you people literally define being conservative as making one intolerant. Of which half the country is. Your belief system literally demands hate and discrimination against half of our fucking population. So incredibly hateful and pathetic
You have both misunderstood the idea and the application.
Very likely on purpose. How does it even make sense to call it a "creed"? It's hardly even a belief. It's an argument.
Do better.
It's a belief system used to justify bigoted discrimination.
Source? Any proof?

So, none.
