I dont know if this has been asked before or if this may be a little goofy of a question but I didn't see anything relating to it and I'm kinda curious what the culture of Lemmy is like and what sort of common things people see. ive been paying attention to interactions but nothing is as good as just asking everyone.

Thank you for summarising how I feel about the debates.

I sometimes go to respond to the more extreme takes and then think, haven't I said this before? And wouldn't they already know this?

The ability to counter misinformation is so diminished now. Everyone can just stand on either side holding up signs that summarise their views and leave it at that.
