I seriously cannot have any degree of nuanced conversation here.
Like I get it, we all know capitalism is bad, but it feels like every time I or anyone go towards discussing the steps that need to be taken to address current looming problems in the short term, someone has to jump in and shut it down with "capitalism bad >:[ " and tear down any idea presented because its not complete and total destruction of the current economic model.
The result just feels like an echo chamber where no actual solutions get presented other than someone posting whole ass dissertations on their 33-step (where 30/33 steps are about as vague as “we’ll just handle it”) plan to fully convert the world to an anarchist commune.
Edit: I still vastly prefer Lemmy and the fediverse and a whole, my complaint here is that many of you are TOO INTENSE. You blow up small scale discussion.
I’m on /all constantly, and I agree with you. People are fine. I don’t really know where people get the idea to post these things. I think they might browse all, see a bunch of posts from /antiwork, or /fuckcars, or /aboringdystopia, or /linuxmemes, and then complain that they only see those things. It’s probably confirmation bias, and if they used frontpage instead and actually followed spaces they were interested in they wouldn’t have these problems.
To me, it’s like complaining about sex at an orgy. The point of the platform, and reddit, and most other forms of social media, is to curate a feed that suits you. If you don’t do that, it isn’t the platforms fault if it then doesn’t suit you.
