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…


I find lemmy a lot more tolerant than most other social media, myself.
It’s incredibly misogynistic though. I had found that to have died down more on other social media platforms, but it has flourished here it seems.
