But the places with the most content are places that are all reddit lite. Very safe well moderated communities. It’s like lemmy is a place for people who thought r/pics was too spicy. As the OP said, people here are very confrontational avoidant. And that isn’t good because we need to be confrontational if we ever want to build a place that can build left leaning communities. If we don’t, if we ignore the world right now, it is only inevitable that this place will also be gone. And this may be the last space we have for a long time after that.
after being here for almost 5 years, I haven’t seen much of that, because I’m not looking for it-- but if those are the places you seek, as I’ve said, those are the choices you make. stop blaming others for your own choices.
this place wasn’t made for you, specifically. you sound like a spoiled child when you complain that it’s not exactly as you like and make no effort to use it as intended: to customize the experience to your liking. and when you make bad faith arguments complaining that there is content here you don’t like (especially when you seem to be seeking it out), you’re not fooling anyone.
You are sticking your head in a hole in the sand, and blaming other people for not doing the same.
Why does it upset you that others talk about things outside of your personal experience? Or you feel the need to tell them to curate their feeds in the same way you do?
Again, you are the type of user I’m talking about. Perhaps that why you find my comments disagreeable and think I should ‘solve’ the problem by just ignoring it’s existence. Not everyone wants to stick their head the sand. I am interested in what is going in in the world around me. I’m sorry that offends you.
It’s not a random insult. It’s a approach towards life that you have chosen that I do not share.
The world exist outside of me and my perceptions. A lot of people on lemmy have a very difficult time with this concept and default to solipsistic world view where nothing exists other than their curated internet feeds, and anyone who doesn’t live similarly is bad and stupid.
You can bang on all you want about whatever. Maybe you think religions is evil and bad… that doesn’t mean that billions of people on the planet don’t follow it.
blaming others for pointing out that your arguments don’t make sense by insulting them rather than making logical arguments backed by evidence doesn’t change the facts. and lashing out with further nonsense doesn’t make you right.
citing further false equivalencies doesn’t help you, either.
yes, you are such a big strong smart genius, and I am such a stupid dummy dumberson. i am awe of your intellectual brilliance and your magnificent argumentation to which i could never possibly dispute!
and you aren’t at all the type of smug delusional fedi user i was calling out in my initial post, which is why you got so butthurt… or maybe that’s exactly what you are, hence your inability to at all acknowledge folks like you exist and are problematic.
no, i get the homepage the algorithm forces down my throat, despite my interests.
which is why i don’t use reddit or other social media platforms anymore.
your attitude is precise what i am calling out. I saw words you don’t like, so you want to dismiss it with personal attacks, because your petty need to dismiss and attack a viewpoint on things that makes you uncomfortable and doesn’t agree with your beliefs. for you ‘positive’ is things that only reflect your per-existing beliefs and biases, you’re just isolating yourself from the wider world.
lol, there’s no “algorithm” forcing anything. You see what you subscribe to. Stop blaming others for your own choices.
And pointing out that you’re wrong isn’t “a personal attack“— but calling me names because you don’t like that is. If you don’t care for that, perhaps you should think before you speak.
that’s not how the internet works dude. you are clinging to a belief that simple isn’t true.
but that’s pretty common on here, just like on reddit or real life. people cling to untruths because it makes them feel better or superior or something. Like using Linux is some form of social liberation or something… lol
But it is how the fediverse works dude. you really shouldn’t talk about stuff you don’t have at least a basic understanding of, at least while being as condescending as you are currently.
Again here you are minimizing the person you’re speaking with by calling them a kid.
This is suppose to be a place to discuss things. Avoid these attacks. Or just don’t come here if you can’t discuss topics without resorting to personal attacks.
There is no “algorithm” except if you sort by all, you get all, sorted by timestamp; if you choose “subscribed”, you get your subscribed communities, sorted by timestamp (both subject to “interesting” sorting when federation glitches out). It’s not like facebook or twitter where the “algorithm” is programmed to maximize engagement.
There was no personal attack in the completely true statement that in the fediverse, you get the front page YOU yourself choose, starting with choosing where you create your account because it defines what other servers your home instance connects to for federation.
Your understanding of the technical basis of the fediverse is lacking - and this is not a personal attack, it is what you publicly demonstrate.
it’s not a message, it’s a description.
Just like with Reddit, you get the front page you choose, reflecting your own interests

Now you attack me personally? Shit argument. You sound like the child here. I’m here to discuss the platform. Keep to that.
I didn’t make any personal attacks, but making a petty and hypocritical argument hardly makes your point, although it does prove mine
observing that you sound like a child isn’t the same thing as calling you a spoiled child.
I suggest you look up the word “nuance” in the dictionary.
no wonder you keep seeing what you want, regardless of the reality of things…

now you’re just writing random insults because you can’t back up any of your claims after I pointed out that your arguments make so sense.

Lmao, like I need some Rando on Lemmy to tell me “how the Internet works“
Grow up kid
Again here you are minimizing the person you’re speaking with by calling them a kid.

I didn’t call anyone “a kid”, they were addressed as “kid”
you have a habit of seeing only what you want regardless of reality, and then blaming others for pointing that out.
