I agree.

If someone is looking for the canned this-is-what-the-headline-said-so-it-is-the-truth-and-anything-that-challenges-that-is-edgy then go to one of the other multitude of social media sites that have been decimated by that exact mentality.

For me, Lemmy is a place where ideas can be discussed, and not automatically downvoted into oblivion because it may challenge the conventional wisdom, and that's what Reddit used to be too.

Edit: Just to be clear, this is to say nothing about the Justin Roiland debacle, just the sentiment of Lemmy.
