Not great. Sort of lost my will to post after a bunch of experiments over at [email protected]
If I post pure questions in the weekly thread, generally one or two people respond. Political or not, it doesn’t seem to matter.
If I post questions with some opinion added, people respond more frequently to those (even if I do not believe the opinion), but we get scads of aggressive comments and downvotes which buries the thread quickly.
To top that off, if I respond in other threads in Lemmy, I get people digging up the weekly threads (or responses therein) and trying to use those as ammunition against me. It’s super disheartening.
