    Agreed.

    Ive put so much time into lemmy but im realizing it may be best to start looking elsewhere.

    The amount of people that are fanatically ignorant is almost suspicious. How can this be a representation real people? Is this place just a magnet for no-lifers? Surely people dont want to spend their time reading or discussing articles like “Musk is realizing how dumb he is”.

    Its like looking at the dumbest possible representation of my beliefs to make me question if my beliefs themselves are dumb lol.
