Too many people in this thread letting their emotions control their opinion due to a scary headline about a subject they apparently know very little about.

This is my Lemmy experience in a nutshell. I really wanted this to be a good reddit alternative, but it seems kinda like maga for the left. Which obviously is better than maga, but still exhausting.

    Living in a society sometimes means suffering opinions and attitudes you don't like. I know I don't always agree with the Lemmy consensus.

    I don't think the notions of respecting equal accommodations, and approaching potentially racist situations with an abundance of caution — especially considering the current party in power — is radically left, id est MAGA for the left.

    Feel free to block people whose opinions you can't stand.

    The secret is filters. Just block the subs that are all politics, block keywords that are too culture war. Cultivate a bubble and know that it's a nice bubble where you're more likely to get genuine people with interesting things to share than any other bubble I know of.

    I thought it would be better than corporate social media. Seeing as there has to be some reason you came here rather than the 'easier' options.

    But no it's mostly people just being emotional and slinging mud. I've already been called a bigot in this thread even before that wall of text.
