I agree with you 🙃

I guess we're in our own echoes chamber

I've found myself on the "Let me evaluate this as objectively as possible and still I usually end up pretty left of center" camp, and yet I'm definitely not immune to it.

I've had a few run-ins, like one where I tried to de-escalate and respectfully critique a thread that was basically (smugly?) a "death to anyone who looks like they might resemble the other team" jihad , and boy, oh boy the hivemind got stirred.

It's gotten so bad that merely suggesting temperance and moral consideration brands you a filthy both-siding liberal nazi-enabler or something.

I believe a successful resistance includes restraining unhinged extremists that would stab their fellows in the back for not being extreme enough, but some segments of Lemmy won't hear it.

not as bad as reddit, where every discussion often involves some form of trolling propaganda, that is hard to control.
