Hello, Im kind of new here and trying to get used to Lemmy and I was wondering about if this is true since I am considering donating on this site to support alternative projects but wanted to hear other users before doing so. That being said, what have been your experiences?

Lemmy.world, so the largest general 'bubble' so to speak. You're on the generalist, relatively moderate instance.

    I feel like when people describe anything as moderate on the fediverse, they're really taking about the middle ground between centrism and true communism. And somehow that's still icky for some people's tastes. Lol

    I would never in a million years describe myself as moderate and I find myself agreeing with the great majority of opinions I come across. That's how the general vibe of the entire instance feels, and it's still not leftist enough for some folks, somehow.

    the point of being a extremist is nothing is good enough for you. it's a quest for ever more extreme views to feel superior/purer than the unwashed non-ideological masses.

    the 'drug' of extremism is that it makes feel people feel 'special'. ONLY they know the TRUTH.
