So you are saying Lemmy can’t compete because we don’t have enough Nazis?
I’m saying that comments outside of a very narrow world view on Lemmy are greeted with hostility. Like the comment I’m replying to.
This covers lots of different areas. I get downvotes and snarky comments when I say I like the wrong Lemmy client or browser. When I ask about suggestions for a ttrpg, I get a snarky comment saying I’m asking questions wrong. When the leader of the Canadian Conservative party comes up in conversation, saying he does anything effectively is met with snark and downvotes - not that he’s good, but that he’s effective at something.
I understand this is a shitty time in US politics. I don’t like the outcome either - Trump is gonna make my life worse, and I don’t live in the US. But look at your comments on this thread: they’re hostile towards people that probably agree with you. This kind of rage makes the platform unwelcoming and shitty.
I don’t think any comments in this thread have referred to Nazis or fascism, other than yours. Nobody here is disagreeing that those things are bad.
I used your comment as an illustration that Lemmy has a tiny Overton window: when anyone comments outside the window, they’re smacked down. Instead of asking the original commenter for clarification, your comment suggested they want Nazis on the platform. That was a good illustration of my point.
Your comments in this thread only make sense if you assume the worst about other Lemmites. Please don’t do that. If there’s ambiguity, there’s no need to assume we’re douche wagons. Maybe ask for clarification. Make a friendly joke? I dunno.
