Now that a lot of the commotion has subsided I’m just curious to know how y’all are finding the Lemmy experience in general and whether you use it regularly like you did reddit?

    I love beehaw but I’m starting to feel disconnected from the community. I feel like overall beehaw and lemmy are creating this echo chamber that is repeating the same talking points over and over again. Reddit and Twitter both offered insight from industry leaders or at least those in the industry in question. Lemmy seems to lack those type of folks. I’m also noticing an abundance of opinionated folks. This is good and bad. It feels like sometimes there isn’t any worth from engaging in a conversation. Sometimes there is, but a good bit of time I end up regretting it.

    Overall it’s like the Linux version of Reddit. It’s not great but you can feel slightly more ethical using it.

      The echo chamber is pretty bad here. I also don’t like that people here downvote opinions they don’t agree with, Reddit did this too though. I don’t think opinions should ever be voted on, up or down. People see which types of opinions get the most upvotes and it causes them to not express their true opinions for fear of being downvoted.
