I find the quality and variety of discussions on the fediverse to be lower than what I had on reddit. Lemmings have strong preconceived notions and little interest in changing viewpoints from new information. I think I’ll be switching back.
Edit: you’ll find that most of the comments deny any shortcomings of the culture and go directly to invalidating my opinions via character assassination. If lemmy was a community that actually stood for the ideals which it espouses it would take constructive criticism in the spirit in which it was intended. QED.
Looking at the list of blocked instances (scroll to the bottom), most of these are blocked for incredible NSFW or MAGA. There are extremely few I don’t understand, such as kbin.cafe and some foreign-language instances that seem okay. Could you explain your rationale?
