Well, I don’t know how many online interactions you have. But has you ever imagined that perhaps the feedback you received here is actually the average of the people?
In these days is quite difficult to calibrate the crowd feeling for the insane amounts of echo chambers, the mass media crating opinion instead of informing and personal biases.
Usually, everybody of us is quite biased by our own interactions and knowledge of how the world worked around us. But those interactions are mainly defined by your social status, place of birth or simply where we live. By the specific details of people who debate in internet (probably accommodate urban person) it is possible that those ideas lean into a specific direction. But once again, it could be that you are simple realizing you are not with the majority

I live in one of the bluest cities in one of the bluest states in the US. And even here, the average Lemmy is nowhere near representative of the average person you meet in real life. If you think they are you are either deluding yourself or have an agenda to push.
Reddit is already an echo chamber and Lemmy just turns up the echo chamber dial to 100.
