Things have gotten better and progress has been made from times past, it just seems worse now because we have more access to information. We’ve come far, and have further to go!

    Refreshing to see this instead of the usual screeching here on lemmy. I really need to stop looking at 99% of this bullshit on here.

    Atleast for 2 minutes I believed the average quality of content will not go to the shitter like reddit.

      What’s the 99% of this site that is bs to you? And why are you hanging around if it’s that terrible? Genuinely asking.

        99% of lemmy is: bashing and memeing rich, companies, conservatives. Posting outrage and celeb articles. Honestly these issues are not even on my mind a fraction as much as it is for most guys here.

        Im mainly hanging around for my preferred topics to reach a critical level so that it will be enjoyable.

        As of right now, even main lemmy sites like technology is not even about technology but this bullshit “how Musk fucked over twitter at this moment”. And look at that. Wasnt this trend taken 1:1 from reddit. I cant clean up properly because this spam keeps leaking into my feed. I cant subscribe to my only preferred communities as they are too small.

            Does a site like that have proper communities for things like spirituality, Zen, audio equipment and drugs?

            I think its pretty self explanatory that we are already in an echo chamber since I never fucking said anything about what my political beliefs are. The current lemmy community is kind of okay to keep up with the events in the world, but still dogshit. And I want to look at the conservative bullshittery even less.

            I have high standards.

              If you don’t want people to make assumptions about what you think/believe then you should express them instead of only listing what you don’t like and leaving them to infer. It’s also not out of left field to assume you may be conservative, at least relative to the community, based on what you said. It’s a little odd to me to see you get angry at people misunderstanding/making incorrect assumptions when you’re appearing to be deliberately opaque. Just my 2 cents here.

                That never worked out for me. People feel attacked regardless. They might not comment (in any meaningful way) as they have no way of reflecting on my argument, but they still downvote.

                  Maybe it didn’t work out previously - I have no idea what you did or the context of those cases - but I can tell you with certainty that what you did today didn’t work either, so I’m not sure what to say man. In addition, I see no downvotes, but I’m on Kbin so may be simply not seeing them across instances.

                  You’re free to not be upfront that’s your prerogative. But lashing out at folks for incorrectly connecting the dots you’re laying out isn’t really accomplishing anything. You’re also being very hostile/bristle-y which will inevitably engender a similar response.

                  Either way it’s neither here nor there. Ignore me or don’t! Just trying to be helpful.

                Nonsense. Don’t read something that was never said. Really simple. If you need to bring it up, formulate a passive, neutral question.
