Honestly, I miss reddit. Lemmy is kinda good, but just doesn't do it for me.
Also the fucking leftists, I swear. Reddit has their share but you could block them without losing 90% of the site.
I feel the exact opposite. Reddit has turned into a MAGA hell hole. It’s totally unbearable and might as well be X now.
What subs in particular? To me it's almost indisputable that reddit is overtaken by your run of the mill performative lib. I really can't imagine someone saying they are MAGA and getting upvoted for it
Mostly more mainstream subs like r/damnthats interesting. Regardless, I feel there’s a good balance on Lemmy. I feel like it’s more palatable here. Someone disagrees and moves on. That’s how it should be. It’s no Kumbaya, and that fine. I just feel people move on here and won’t downvote you to oblivion on Lemmy. Anyway, we may disagree and that’s okay. Nice to have you here. I feel like this is the more adult place.
Can you provide a single example of someone proclaiming MAGA beliefs and getting upvoted significantly on that subreddit? Sorry but I find that very hard to believe.
I think the guy's personal overton window has shifted to the left.
Thats surprising, reddit always felt like /atheism but for left wing politics.
If you’re not a leftist, then I don’t want to talk to you anyway.
Yay, let's get this country together and fix thing-NO!
The way in which right-wingers want to "fix" things is wrong.
I really think you should turn off the internet and go talk to real people. This attitude is toxic.
I actually do talk to real people. Most of my family are right wingers. They’re wrong. Sorry.
I never said they were right.
You heavily implied it.
This is a good point to stop and reflect if you are projecting a lot of qualities unto others before you know anything about them. The ability to listen compassionately will take you far in life but you have to be willing.
The attitude that people can be "talked" out of their political views over the course of a single conversation is ludicrous.
A single conversation? Very unlikely. Over several? Yes, absolutely.
