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 not talking about going “against group think” I just don’t want to be bombarded with replies about the global capitalism problem when I’m trying to talk about how to engage in local rent control or something else smaller than global revolution.

      Ah, yeah. That can be annoying. I’d suggest getting more comfortable with the block feature then. Since I myself have gotten more comfortable with it, I’ve had to deal with the loud idiots far less. Lemme has far more ability to curate what you expose yourself to than Reddit ever did
