I swear sometimes I feel like I’m reading a bad newspaper comment section, like everyone is a poorly trained AI that just spouts default politically-oriented replies. The New York Times comment section for any given topic (not just current events, also culture etc) is way more interesting than most of it here.
Note this also applies to a LOT of reddit but there are some subreddits that are more interesting. A lot of them have their own circlejerk but at least when I first find them the “game” is new so I’m eager to read what people have to say.
Where on Lemmy is the actually good or interesting discussion happening, please, I really want something better, I am eager to contribute too, it’s one of my resolutions for 2025.
The problem with having a good discussion on Lemmy is that its a low-trust environment, if you want interesting geopolitics stuff Caspian report is good for content ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwnKziETDbHJtx78nIkfYug ). Not sure about anything on Lemmy because talking about politics is both annoying no faith arguments or circle jerk/doom article posting, needless to say, I have politics and world events either blocked or not on my homepage.
