I’ve been on-and-off bored with Lemmy for this reason.
Lemmy (the software and devs) is really cool and deserves praise for a neat platform with a neat idea.
Lemmy (the overreaching community) just hasn’t been very appealing. A lot of the same reasons why I didn’t like Reddit are here and I’m not sure how to feel about it.
Building on the lack of nuance, I think the obsessive complaining about Meta/Threads, $politician, $billionaire, Reddit, or X (formerly Twitter) is among the worst. It’s the same spattering of complaints basically week-to-week, with comment threads parroting the same 8-word uninsightful, exaggerated, or incorrect takes. There’s entire accounts commenting 15-30+ times a day comprised entirely of these “doom-and-gloom” one-liners.
