I joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.

    And Lemmy isn’t an echo chamber? Try posting any conservative opinions around here and see how many downvotes you get.

      To be fair, the GOP has shifted so far Right, that conservative opinions nowadays are less “We need to be more fiscally responsible and try solutions outside of throwing money at problems.” and more “So lemme tell you which minorities don’t deserve rights and the specific reasons why they don’t.”

        . “So lemme tell you which minorities don’t deserve rights and the specific reasons why they don’t.”

        Bullshit. Just more of the hateful bigotry of the left than has divided things so greatly. You won’t even engage, just mock an increasingly non existent strawmen

      That’s because all the dum-dums are still over there on Reddit. This place has brain cells and it’s awesome.

        It’s nice because you can talk to people, be heard, and be able to listen back. Of course I don’t agree with everybody all the time, but in some communities it’s cool to learn something you didn’t know before.

      Uh yeah, people around here don’t tend to accept bigotry. Anybody who espouses racism/homophobia can get out. Which happens to be most conservatives. It’s not about being a conservative. It’s about being a piece of human shit.

        Even as I’m on the more left end, I’d say not all conservatives or right-leaning people are racist homophobic bigots, though. If anything, I’d say a sizable portion have a right-leaning non-discriminatory worldview, mainly economic.

        Admittedly, as much as I’m preferring the fediverse, it is definitely an echo chamber, Lemmy included.

          But they still vote for homophobic bigots. If you sit at a dinner table with Nazis, what does that make you?

      Here’s conservative opinion for you: we should go back in how schools work because the less beaurocracy teachers deal with - the better they teach students. Also revert wage inequaloty where director eats-up half of entire budget. Go back to how it was in USSR.

      Oh, you thought there is only one conservative opinion?
