Although I’ll say here on Lemmy, folks are much more open to actual dialogue than on Reddit.
I mean yeah. At least Lemmy instances aren’t site banning people for upvoting the wrong thing. Or communities using bots to autoban anyone who has ever posted to certain communities. Or communities banning anyone who isn’t fully on board with the “correct” views about all things at all times.
Turns out not reinforcing a space as an echo chamber reduces the degree to which it is an echo chamber, who would have thought?
I mean it has the same incentives. Try to ask something that goes against the group ethos and you’ll get downvoted to hell pretty quickly. Not quite as bad as Reddit I’ll agree.
