    • “Why doesn’t this site have more in common with reddit, which it’s literally a clone of?”
    • Can’t bring up Trans people existing (without a weirdo downvoting you, of course)
    • Can’t be critical of… a certain religion without getting jumped by keyboard warriors and called a Genocide Supporter
    • Don’t even get me started on whatever the heck is with the Hexbear folks…
    • Lemmy is, at times, a bit of an echo chamber

      Lemmy is full of people that I would never want to hang out with IRL. Even if I agree with most of what they’re saying, they manage to say it in the most neckbeardy way possible.

        Yeah it seems the topic is irrelevant. They’ll eventually just start yammering about communism, Linux and ublock. It’s hard to have a conversation on here that doesn’t get sidelined by those things. I can’t imagine these people carrying on a normal conversation in the real world, and I don’t think they understand that the world exists outside of those narrow interests.

        Like OP will say they hate MS Teams. Person will say stop using Microsoft. OP will say, I’d love to but my government employer is an MS shop. Person will say then quit your job. K…

        It’s either very sheltered people who’ve not worked or interacted in ‘the mainstream’ or, really young naive people who think that your FOSS convictions will stand up against the need to earn a living.

        I prefer it to Reddit still, but it gets a bit tedious.
