I find the quality and variety of discussions on the fediverse to be lower than what I had on reddit. Lemmings have strong preconceived notions and little interest in changing viewpoints from new information. I think I’ll be switching back.

Edit: you’ll find that most of the comments deny any shortcomings of the culture and go directly to invalidating my opinions via character assassination. If lemmy was a community that actually stood for the ideals which it espouses it would take constructive criticism in the spirit in which it was intended. QED.

      You are assuming that downvotes are some metric I optimize for. They’re meaningless beyond the value that others put in them and reach a dogpile effect on discussion at some point. Most of my issue is not on topics I comment on or how they’re received, but the topics posted on lemmy and how they are engaged. It’s the comments I haven’t made.
