I might get hate because of my instance here, but in an attempt to better understand Lemmy I’m wondering if some of you can shed a light on why you chose this instance, what’s great about it, what could be better, is the instance rivalries something that affects your use of the platform or is it just background noise?
I’m not trying to start a fight or mud slinging, it would be good if several people could say their piece and nobody shame or attack them for it no matter how much you disagree.
Why I chose it? I liked the general political leaning.
What could be better? The more nuanced political leanings… I’m talking about the leftist infighting. I pissed off a ton of people, including myself, the last couple of times I commented on some posts. You say the wrong thing and you don’t get polite discourse, you go straight to mudslinging. And yes I’m including myself in that.
It makes me want to interact with the instance less and less.
You getting criticised for being a liberal genocide apologist isn’t “leftist infighting”
“the wrong thing” and its genocide denial and strawmanning
