essentially an enormous part of the reason that online leftist spaces suck so much is that they are filled with people who believe it is more important to do nothing wrong than it is to do something right

It depends on the instance and mods I think. I got a temp ban from an instance just citing "bad faith" for asking if there was a source article and getting flamed for "standing in the way of the movement". I accept that the Libre/FOSS space trends towards more niche user bases, and Lemmy is infinitely better than any other alternatives, but sometimes it feels a bit to close to Emo Phillips "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912".

    Of course it does. Anyone can start their own instance, if there is an issue it is a problem with that instance, not Lemmy as a whole.

    The Internet is not obsessed with speed running just because there exists websites on it obsessed with speed running.

    Very true, and everyone should keep that in mind. It's also true that there is an outsized visibility and impact that instances like ML and hexbear have on the zeitgeist/perception of the platform. It doesn't help that the creators are ML.

    The Internet is not obsessed with speed running just because there exists websites on it obsessed with speed running.

    The Internet also sends greeting cards and is used for business/stock market trading, but everyone knows that the Internet is FOR porn.
