Guy is hundred percent right. Lemmy is a echo chamber for a certain demographic as vast majority of users are in it.

We either have tech, or politics. Literally every topic ends up in either. We also don't have the differing opinions aspect as just about every debater talks like they're just the different shade of the same color.

Even spicy news that would make any other site a warzone of opinions just echo chambered here. Literally everyone agrees on one conclusion and random two comments that disagree with that having at least -15 points.

To name a few (note, I am only refering to the loud obnoxious minority, not the majority who are mostly cool)

  • Linux: too over the top fanboying a times, and the distro war can be absurd here; this coming from me, a full-time Linux user
  • Atheism: yes, I know religion is stupid; but you know what else is stupid, trying to force feed your opinion; I mean, we can't even joke about church wifi name here
  • Vegan: no, bashing meat eaters won't make them stop eating them, they'll just hate you more
  • American Politic: no, not everything is about your shit, that orange business man/ex-president in an orange suit doesn't affect the rest of the world

There are so many "Well Acshually" people here. It's insane.
