Because I belive ln a better future for Lemmy. I will not be dictated by this mob mentality.
Being upset about downvotes and ranting about the lemmy atmosphere seems in opposition to what you're saying, but ok. Good luck with that
If you can't see that this mob mentality of attacking users instead of addressing their key points in an argument is detrimental to the platform than we are not heading anywhere productive. Lemmy will simply be reduced to an echo chamber of older users who don't accept or are even willing to engage in honest argumentation.
Comparatively to all other social media? lol no, not even close. I haven't seen this mob mentality of attacking users at all. Unless you're just talking about upvotes and not dialogue? Lemmy overall is super chill, very friendly and theres a tons of interesting, intelligent conversations going on. Is there an asshole comment every now and then? Of course, because assholes exist. Thats always bound to happen. I've been browsing every community on all, and I go through the various sorting types since active and hot are a bit buggy. Maybe its the areas you're hanging out in? I have seen people freak the fuck out over downvotes though, a couple of times. Reddit has/had really fucked with a lot of peoples ways of thinking in regards to social media voting systems.
To a certain degree I agree with you. But, if you don't follow the narrative, things are quite different. An example of this is the prevalent anti-Elon narrative. Even pointing out nuances will result in you being brigaded.
...I'm sorry that no one likes the thing you like, I guess? What do you expect me to say? Sorry most people see your fav as terrible? If it really bothers you that much either a) leave lemmy or b) be the change/ignore the haters. What are you even comparing this to? Reddit? Twitter? Because like I said, comparative to all other social media lemmy is pretty fucking great. It's beginning to sound more like you just enjoy complaining at this point.
Lemmy has potential but it's not good when pointing out nuances will get you brigaded. Hating or loving Elon isn't really the point as I'm interested in discussions that seek to be as truthful as possible. Just see my comment history and you will see what I talk about.
But honestly why do you want me to leave?
I don't actually, stay or go its cool with me. Your comments just seem like you want an excuse to leave (or an excuse to complain?). Cheers
We may not agree on everything but thanks anyway for engaging in discourse.
Cheers to you as well.
No problem, I hope you find the community vibe you're looking for.
edit: and I do mean that sincerely, not sarcastically.
Lemmy is the future. Most of the subs are chill as you say. I've just got a niche interest in a car Company that has a CEO that shouldn't tweet or say so much stupid shit. You seem pretty chill as well, hope you have a great weekend.
