I’ll grant you that the links to content are informative but usually the comments are full of people missing the point, taking your comment out of context, etc. like this person that’s trying to act like I’m racist because I said it’s difficult to find vegan food in Mexico.

I’d say 90% of comments are just a waste of time. I would never come here expecting positive engagement with others.

    This is sad to hear, I remember the Golden age of Reddit was so open and you could have a discussion with everybody. I was hoping that Lemmy was stuck in that era, but it seems that down vaults aren't enough for this website. They must resort to banning people with different opinions

    Reddit hid downvoted comments, so if you said something truly contrary, you'd end up just getting buried.

    You can indeed have discussions here, but as soon as they start going off the rails, the chances of getting blocked are pretty high.

    or getting reported.

    i never had like any reddit comment reported in like a decade... then around '22 all the sudden contrary or sarcastic comments became site-wide ban offenses. mostly because people would report you and the AI would ban you, and you had to argue and appeal to get unbanned.

    contrarianism was normal and healthy part of the site for over a decade, now it's considered harassment and assault by the AI admins.
