Comment on For me, it's going to be Fediverse or nothing

  Nah not really, I just said kill Elon musk for impacting German politics. Not because of anything he said, but because he’s not an elected European.

  Impacting EU legislation, tsk tsk tsk.

  Me being extreme right to extreme left depends on the topic.

  Most people are politically, economically and financially illiterate.

  They just have their brand (insert your preferred ideology) and just question themselves: is this what my brand wants? Then they do ☺️ or 😡

  I vote for social democrats (freedom of expression is important to them). But clearly not everything I say is viewed as leftist.

  There’s a lot I say that would get me to vote for other parties. I just vote what I find most important in society. But I still will heavily criticise it.

  You’re not a Belgian if you don’t criticise the government (every single political ideology). It’s our national sport. We complain. A lot. Like the Italians, but without the passionate gestures and intonation.

    Bro I am using Lemmy for the same reason. And honestly here people won’t understand your concerns either

    I was IP banned in reddit for saying that gender neutral laws should be implemented in my country. And here I’m banned in a community for saying communism won’t save my country.

    There is no difference as such between these two platforms. The only good thing about reddit is that it had more relevant subs and users

      A good thing about Lemmy is that you can change instance/make your own and do and promote anything you like. That’s the fundamental difference.

      You can be banned from a community, from instance, even. But not from Lemmy as a whole.

      A fundamental shift may occur when more people of the same views start alternative communities where such pressures are absent.

      I’m getting banned on a lot of communities here on Lemmy, I’m just taking it for a ride.

      Fediverse is a great step forward. But it really creates echo chambers, even more so than on Reddit I feel.

      On Reddit you have for example capitalismvsocialism or purplepilldebate.

      Places that people come together to talk out their differences (or yell at eachother, 70% of the time).

      If there’s an open source platform where people can create communities but can’t ban people on them. I’d join it in a heartbeat.

      But then the problem would be things like CP.

      So I suppose that’s just not going to be possible.

      There’s always going to be abuse, difficult to find a middle ground

        Yeah you’re right.

        Fediverse is a great step forward. But it really creates echo chambers, even more so than on Reddit I feel.

        But the difference is that you can create your own instances too if you don’t like their ideologies. Or even make your community. So it’s slightly better

        Btw have you gotten better alternative of Reddit?

    I’m not sorry that elon isn’t far enough to the right for you either.

      As I said, most people are politically, economically and financially illiterate. That’s why I can have a job providing such services. Which is a good thing. Even though it seems really easy to me. I like money, so keep it coming.

        So we’re just making random statements now instead of responding to what was actually said?
