Definitely, you can also see that on certain communities, there are very strong opinions which don’t allow for discussion.
Say anything that goes against the grain and you will be shunned immediately.
Also - not that that is always a bad thing but Lemmy is extremely left leaning and you just can’t discuss certain topics here at all.
(Guns are always bad / Cars should all be banned and traded for bicycles / traveling by plane is bad and you should feel horrible for destroying the environment…)
What I enjoyed about early reddit was the tech/nerd focused community that did not try to push their political opinion into every thread.
Basically the worst part of reddit is already here, just that the echo chambers are smaller for now.
Honestly, I’m not sure how I feel about it.
They would never hurt their Christmas sales by announcing anything officially until the beginning of next year.
