I just joined Lemmy and so far I’m enjoying it. It’s a little bit sparse in terms of content and users, but I think it has a really cool structure, and it feels more human than certain other social media sites.
I’m curious to know what users think about who is welcome here. Do you think it should be gates open, everyone including your aunt should join, or is it more exclusive to people interested in the fediverse as a starting point? Or something else?
Not trying to stir up shit, just genuinely curious about what the vibe is and where the community thinks it is or should be going.
It’s great to see discussions on Lemmy where both opposing viewpoints are upvoted. You definitely don’t see that on reddit. Seems to be getting less common on Lemmy too though, unfortunately.
Assuming it is an issue with two valid but opposing viewpoints. If we’re looking at, like, a TIL post about how they calculated the Earth’s circumference in classical Egypt, I don’t care at all about the flat earther perspective.
