AI is the devil, humanity is doomed, parents are evil / selfish / idiotic for having kids, cars shouldn’t exist no matter what, the list goes on…
Also, 99% of the population here is Western. Nobody ever recalls that different cultures can have different opinions, different priorities, different cultural mores, etc — and I’m not talking about China vs US here. (I may still be a little salty about being temp banned for a ‘dogwhistle’ that’s nothing of the kind in Asia).
Sometimes I wonder why I’m still on Lemmy, the toxicity is pervasive and exceeds anything Reddit had.
The absolutism and the common thought process of “it’s obvious” often make me wonder how much of the lemmy community is angsty middle/high school students.

Had the same thought before but then I realized, Lemmy’s blocking system is infinite. So block anyone who is immensely toxic. Win-win.
It’s true, you gotta weed out the foaming extremists, then fruitful civil debate becomes possible.
