I find the quality and variety of discussions on the fediverse to be lower than what I had on reddit. Lemmings have strong preconceived notions and little interest in changing viewpoints from new information. I think I’ll be switching back.

Edit: you’ll find that most of the comments deny any shortcomings of the culture and go directly to invalidating my opinions via character assassination. If lemmy was a community that actually stood for the ideals which it espouses it would take constructive criticism in the spirit in which it was intended. QED.

    Not everyone is here for debate and proselytizing. You want to have debates then go scream at people in the streets with your face visible and within arms length of whomever you’re offending. I’m here for fine art, painted miniatures, and owl pictures. Those are procured with civility not dumpster fire opinions.

        I’m not personally a fan anymore, but I’m not really a fan of television or movies at this point in my life. I used to watch a lot of NG and DS9 back in the day.

        I do realize that Lemmy does run on Star Trek memes and its absence would be like removing the coal out of a steam engine.

        To answer your question they’re not for me, but I do respect the impact ST memes are having.
