Last week there was a woke-not-woke argument in certain StarTrek post that was like one quite moderate guy against 1000 angry people. At least in reddit there was some debate posible and it was respectful for the most part, here you get dilapidated before even be able to explain yourself. Lemmy is too politically driven as you said. And that's insufferable.

Six months ago lemmy was infinitely better than reddit in that regard. It's gotten worse because people from Reddit are here now, and brought their idiocy with them.

Idiocy is not exclusive to Reddit. Different Lemmy servers were born based solely on stupidity.

And it's actually the worst people from reddit, imo

I don't think is the bad people of reddit but the people Who want to fight that found lemmy as a mean to clash with reddit .. but once here is not about fighting but make it flourish and build community so.. maybe people is unable to stop clashing everywhere. Fight is the nature of ... that people.

I can understand why. Maybe is just a matter of time and things will be OK after a while.

If everyone else disagrees with you, it might be time to do some self-reflection

Or blame politics, it's the easy option when cognitive dissonance becomes overbearing

I tend to think that : where there is a ton of people that adopt an aggressive and absolute position against you there's a ton of people silent that are afraid or tired of fighting against a tide ( or is caloric economy) . I agreed somehow with the guy but I didn't say a thing to avoid the pain.

And to be honest this Star Trek thing is going on and on since some years ago so no... imho is not something clear or absolute.

Politics REALLY are ruining a lot of things nowadays.
