Yep, that and people bringing along all the mindless echo chambers and circlejerking I was hoping to leave behind on reddit.
People hated reddit for these reasons, and many of us left reddit for these reasons, and now these toxic assholes are doing everything they can to make lemmy just like reddit.
I wish those people would just stay on reddit. If they want to make lemmy like reddit why did they even leave??
So... people should disagree with each other just to disagree?
If you're talking about biased mods, then I completely agree. But as far as the community, of course people are going to agree with what's popular and disagree with what isn't.
That's what makes things popular and unpopular.
This is a real braindead take and I'm not sure what point you are trying to make here. If you can't tell the difference between circlejerks and echo chambers, and people simply discussing things they mostly agree with, that's your own problem.
Doesn't mean it's not a real issue or a thing that even exists, that's just a silly thing to even say.
Lol, what?
