I find the quality and variety of discussions on the fediverse to be lower than what I had on reddit. Lemmings have strong preconceived notions and little interest in changing viewpoints from new information. I think I’ll be switching back.
Edit: you’ll find that most of the comments deny any shortcomings of the culture and go directly to invalidating my opinions via character assassination. If lemmy was a community that actually stood for the ideals which it espouses it would take constructive criticism in the spirit in which it was intended. QED.
Look, your definition of toxic troll and propaganda is going to fall into a different window because you (and I) are leftist. Failure to recognise your own bias is just frustrating. I can’t be bothered most of the time. Lemmy is a massive echo chamber for the left, just ask anyone who says Israel is allowed to exist.
I’m not discounting my bias; I’m acknowledging the bias exists, but that it’s far more aligned with reality and objectivity than the mainstream right, which complain about the leftist bias of lemmy.
And your Isreal example is totally out of touch. The vast majority of discussion on lemmy condemns both the terrorism of Hamas as well as the genocide being committed by Isreal.
