Ah so it’s the perceived implicit cruelty of the whole thing. I can understand that viewpoint for sure and how it would be quite off putting for many. Thank you for the explanation.

I’m curious about this take. I’ve heard it a lot but never gotten an explanation on it. Can ypu elaborate?

That’s a very interesting tidbit. Good to know, thanks for sharing!

That’s a good point! I hadn’t considered that previously.

Oh I hadn’t heard about that. Could you elaborate at all or point me in the direction of some more info?

I feel like to a point it might be, but to a point in today’s age and internet - everything is an echo chamber so it’s turned into a “pick ypur poison” kind of thing.

That being said, open discourse and actual conversation seems more prevalent and easier to come by here then on reddit which is very nice.

I hope the same. It’s been quite refreshing.

It so far ( in my very limited experience ) feels like users on Lemmy are more likely to have an actual conversation than immediately slip into the cycle of memes, in-jokes, and other drivel that usually ends up as the top several threads on reddit posts of popular sub-reddits.

It’s kinda nice.
