Since Trump, I’m finding the Lemmy.world experience to be increasingly akin to an echo chamber and it’s quite frankly starting to bore me. (Inb4, I’m a left winger and I don’t like Trump, but I’m much more interested in a good spirited debate or novel points of view than I am in Orange man bad Nazi circle jerks)

If I wanted the same repetitive comments to be upvoted and any different opinion at all to be downvoted and even blocked/banned, I’d have just stayed on Reddit.

Are there any instances where different, opposing and novel points of view are celebrated and debated rather than simply derided and downvoted?

    You’re defending a Tsarist that tried to deliberately sabotage the Soviets during a bloody Civil War, and later joined the Tsarist army as a means to kill more Soviets, as “weird decisions after massive trauma?” Won’t anyone think of the poor, poor Tsarists, woe are they…

    To mirror you: To anyone still reading, this sort of truth stretching to defend the indefensible is why I don’t trust campists

      Keep protesting too much as well. No anarchists believes this garbage but we remember and we learned…

        I just want to point out how thoroughly dominated you were in this argument. Your ability to argue a point is almost as feeble as your historical understanding of socialism.

          I wasn’t trying to win an argument. I was posting on my phone. Stop taking the internet so seriously that you think this shit matters.

            “Haha, I was just posting! Not arguing! Stop taking the 20 serious comments I made seriously!!”
