I experience Lemmy as a reflection of many of the problems in the world; there seems to be little effort to understand and respect different viewpoints. Instead of being curious about opinions one disagrees with, the community often feels almost aggressive. People end up in their own trenches. What about trying to be more open and curious about our differences instead?

Apparently we believe in freedom of speech—so long as the speech is something we agree with…

    I’ve seen the opposite. I’ve enjoyed conversation’s here and people generally have good facts to back up their point. There’s a few assholes but way less than reddit. I’m worried it will get worse though.

    Freedom of speech isn’t freedom from response. Some people have shitty opinions, and are too fragile to accept that people don’t like them or their opinions.

    And some people get upset when other people don’t like AI and don’t want it to do everything for them.

    Have you considered that the reason the community isn’t curious about your opinion is because they’ve heard it dozens of times before? Or maybe your opinion is just rude, or maybe you’re posting it in a space that was never for you in the first place?

    The entire internet is not and should not be an endless space for you to engage with the MArKetPLAcE OF idEaS. There are plenty of dedicated spaces for that in which every party has already consented to that kind of discussion.

    it’s giving a chatbot, your pfp is genai slop, and by now i think you’ve been reliably informed that fedi in general is generally anti-ai. there is a couple of very good reasons why things are this way. if you don’t like this, you are free to fuck off to linkedin, lobsters, hn or some other corporate hellhole

    I can tolerate everything except racism, supporting genocide and settler colonialism

    I grew up in the 2000s and the internet has always been like this, just more censored now. Seems to me it’s just how most people are. Life moves fast and its quicker to read the headline, if you know what i mean
