I experience Lemmy as a reflection of many of the problems in the world; there seems to be little effort to understand and respect different viewpoints. Instead of being curious about opinions one disagrees with, the community often feels almost aggressive. People end up in their own trenches. What about trying to be more open and curious about our differences instead?

Apparently we believe in freedom of speech—so long as the speech is something we agree with…

    Their post history includes anti-immigration views and comments in favor of AI copy-paste posts. I guess that answers it…

    I didn’t even bother scrolling past that.

    To the downvoters:

    What makes you disagree? Did OP make some sort of clear point in a different post in their history, or what did I miss? Because right now by downvoting you’re just proving OP right. Downvoting without clear cause and interaction. The reply to this comment is a nothing burger.

      I actually did scroll past that.

      You are the problem, and so are the people who upvoted you without at looking for themselves at all.
