Lemmy is great but the majority of you guys have a, r/notlikeothergirls vibe.
Like you know something about the world and by saying, "I am not mainstream I am alternative," you are making yourselves inclusive in some way. You don't know anything the rest of the world doesn't already have some idea about. Some sort of secret knowledge. I think my favorite thing I have seen on here is people thinking they are private and secure on the Fediverse. Despite the fact you are on a self hosted instance of someone's hardware and handing your privacy and security to someone random or an entity at random.
Being inclusive is not how you educate people. It's how you isolate your knowledge and make people think you are a jerk.
Lemmy attracts this FOSS/linux/firefox/self-hosted or die mentality because the biggest jump in Lemmy users came from a corporation messing with a product they liked
Which is good.
Without "die hard" FOSS people we wouldn't have Lemmy, Linux, Apache, Firefox etc etc etc. I mean, dont shit where you eat I guess I what I want to say.
You're a real man, could you check my profile?
I reviewed your profile. Personal opinion. You have some personal growing to do.
It feels like you are a 14 yo edgy person watching too much right wing echo chambers.
It's just a big mess.
People like me are the black sheep among thousands of white sheeps, between lefties and boomers. I could only be in an eco chamber if I was literally schizophrenic. Right-wing people have to deal with woke every day it's just impossible to ignore it.
Lol sure buddy, you're all different from ... checks notes ... 2 whole groups of people.
You sure should get out and around a bit.
The "bAd wOkE" is literally made up by the far right, and I see you identify with them, so much for the lone rebel lol.
Yes, anyone who doesn't agree with you is a far right extremist.
You're really taking the discussion to seventh heaven.
