Is anybody else worried about the lack of diverse opinion here? (feddit.online)

Just to clarify, I don't think it's a problem that hatred is minimal here, and I don't just mean politics.

I feel like I very rarely see alternative opinions about anything, whether it be software, ai, news about companies, etc. it just seems like everyone universally agrees about anything with only a tiny handful of exceptions.

It makes me hesitant to believe I'm on the "correct side" and I never see any arguments from opposition. This makes me worried that I'm in some sort of echo chamber. In real life, I do see much more diverse opinions and, if I only used the fediverse for social media, would likely be weaker in defending my own since their arguments would be "new" to me.

I understand the reasons for which the fediverse has pretty collective opinion, but it does still worry me. I want to be able to see all the other people with their own thoughts (given it's respectful) on the Internet, which should be the most capable tool to do so.

But THEY'RE NOT ANTISEMITIC! And never suggest it or inquisition will break lose on you..

Pray tell where you saw anti-Semitism in my comment, dumbfuck. Especially when I specifically pointed out that the hatred isn't towards a group of people based on ideology or genetics, but how they act.

Or are you trying to imply that somehow genocide and war crimes are inherently a Semitic/Jewish trait, therefore it's anti-Semitic to hate the people who do them?

Thanks again for once again perfectly illustrating my point. 

Just for the record this was not planned, it's just this easy to attract them.

Do you not realise how pathetic it is to duck out of a debate by talking and bowing to a nonexistent audience?

[–] DamnianWayne@lemmy.world 0 points 14 hours ago

Wow, you’re a caricature.
