Lemmy was obviously created to cater to people who lose debates in perpetuity so they have a safe place to ban everybody who doesn’t call them brilliant and superior.
If you want to know the truth about 90% of the people on Lemmy, read what they post on here, and then go outside and talk to a few strangers on the sidewalk, start a conversationand see if strangers outside start to spaz as bad as Lemmy users.
Essentially they don’t have the functionality for developing friendships with people who disagree with their thinking but maybe have other things in common. 2 people who are religious can reject each other’s faith and doctrine, but share the same passion for similiar hobbies, movies, sports, tech, etc., and bond over those activities and leave what they each believe in out of their conversations.
I’m mostly fine with people holding their beliefs whatever they may be, but what’s extra scary to me is just how detached from reality the majority of the users on here seem to be.
I’ve seen very logical and polite moderate/centrists get told to go away because they are clearly just pretending to be a centrist but are actually a righty or whatever. These people can’t even talk to someone who only sorta disagrees with them. It’s so unbelievably unhealthy.
It’s really unfortunate. Most people on here are batshit insane. It’s too much of an echo chamber. Mods literally delete your posts for disagreeing with the hivemind. If you post something “conservative” you instantly get called a fascist or a nazi.
People on the internet, both left and right, doesn’t actually know what fascism is from the context of how they use it. There’s actually a LOT of people who demand to have a fascistic society, given what they say that everybody must get the poison poke injected into them. Those people want fascism, in the true sense of the word. Hint:Nazis and fascists hate each other.
But I strongly agree with everything you said, including your description for being insane.

I’m fully with you on all of that. No matter what person believes, anything and wverything, it does no harm to you until they act on it.
If someone never tries to take your money and never tries to break your leg, their views and beliefs are of no consequence to you.
