Since I joined Lemmy in June this community has just been getting more and more toxic. I never see good news, just bad news, and always the same biased takes. If anyone tries to disagree or point out a silver lining they get shut down. What is going on?
More users will lead to a more diverse range of opinions, and groups will more fiercely fight for what they think is right when they feel validated in the comments feedback.
The pains of a growing platform.
Yes. As the platform becomes more mainstream, it more accurately reflects society at large. Which is extremely toxic at the moment. 😕 I used to think talking about our differences in forums like this would help, but it seems that no one actually wants to listen to anything but their own echo chambers anymore.
I’m down. I’ve found that people genrally want the same things, we just disagree at how best to get there.
I want to see the world burn

It is interesting to be exposed to widely different people. People talk about our internal politics but not usually about, well, socialism or agorism.
