I really don’t like the gaslighting regarding Lemmy success. I like Lemmy, but let’s not pretend it’s a viable alternative for these use cases. Even popular communities for sports like football are utterly dead on Lemmy.
Yeah and i really like lemmy, but it’s getting overwhelming because i feel like it’s turning into a echo chamber for these political views, and someone who is not in line with these views is called names or is shunned.
The great thing about federated social media is that there is no central control, so someone else can just open a server with the opposite views, or one that tries to be aggressively neutral is they really wanted to and users from other servers can read those communities and post there from their own servers. Hell, those other servers can even have communities with the same name (just @ the other server) if they want.
