I have noticed that I interact a lot more in Lemmy than I ever did in any social media. Let it be Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter... I am used to be the lurker, but here for some reason things are different. Wonder if more people feel like I do.

I agree. On Lemmy, saying the wrong thing on the wrong community is like stepping on a landmine. The ideological differences are wild. Maybe I just need to get used to this and block the worse communities. It certainly feels very hostile. Especially from leftwing users and communities.

    Well said. I suppose we can all be guilty of this, and this is why I try to engage with people of with many different ideological positions. It's not always comfortable to confront out own beliefs and biases, but I do think it makes us more well-rounded.
