At this stage the whole Lemmy project feels like a CIA experiment, part of some as-of-yet unknown group of experiments / operation given a vague name. All the content is on the extremist-side, enforces attitudes perfect to embolden class wars and young people (no doubt the majority of people here) aren’t worldly enough to know the difference. It’s full of AI-generated political memes and comments.
Where’s the trove of knowledge? The awesome positive hobbies? If it’s around, it’s all drown out by the manipulative noise.
This could be easily fixed in the coding of Lemmy, but… it hasn’t.
I’m becoming very di-senlightened by Lemmy, Let the abuse and downvotes ensue.
Leaves echo chamber ahhh WTF!
I post hobby stuff I’m working on. Everybody seems to care very little. I try to say stop being assholes and people hate for it.
Bias here seems typical for tech geekigarchy. After 2 years on Lemmy – echo chambers are also self selecting and self filtering.
Thanks, I guess that’s the phrase. You have to have the same mentality as everyone including the mods otherwise you’re banned. Challenging opinions isn’t allowed. In my feed I want to see projects, hacks (in all different kinds of hobbies), things I could do, or other things people enjoy doing, not constant memes about Trump / America that are probably being paid to be put there. If I want the latter, I’d go to facebook.
Keep posting your projects and show it off. If the community resents it, let them go to their silly elitists groups.
