    Y’know it’s funny because one of the proposed benefits of lemmy was the decentralized nature of the forums meant you could pick from the ones you liked, yet I’ve subbed to 5 tech instances here and they are all exactly the same. Nothing but F.U.D. This will be the last remaining one I unsubscribe from, and even end up blocking because of the nonsense.

    So, yeah, apparently that thing being a benefit was a lie when in reality it will just populate with the same people saying the same things.

    Ah well…enjoy your echo chambers I guess!

      It turns out that normal and common opinions remain so regardless of what servers you use. Shocking!

        Or more likely, the people who hate something the most are more likely to post about it than people who love it or are ambivalent. No worries though, I blocked the forum so we won’t have to trouble each other anymore.

          You also can want safety improvements before something becomes widespread without also “hating” it overall, you know.

          The choice doesn’t have to be between “absolutely everything now”, and “never”. There’s a lot of room in between the two, and I see no reason to rush something, when unnecessarily rushing it could cost lives.
