    There are places better for this. The sidebar of this community says:

    A community to talk about the Fediverse and all it’s related services using ActivityPub (Mastodon, Lemmy, KBin, etc).

    An image of him isn’t related to that at all (even if it’s related, I’d argue it’s a low-effort post–wouldn’t it be better if we post something like a discussion of about the censorship and how fediverse is better).

    So let’s be better.

    Weakness.

    Limited range of political views breeds echo chamber. In my experience, you can’t really have meaningful discussion inside an echo chamber. Disagreement, compromise, nuance doesn’t exists inside an echo chamber. Just that same idea repeated over and over again.

    Gonna be honest, you can’t have meaningful and nuanced discussion here. Everything is black and white. Capitalism? It’s the worst thing on earth. Religious people? Those people are idiots. Don’t YOU dare use Windows, use Linux instead. ALL cops are bad, no exception.

    This kind of things makes me actually scared of recommending people to Lemmy. I’m sure most people are casual people who doesn’t have extreme views on anything. Just some people who wants to shut their brain off and scroll. I feel like the echo chamber I mentioned will put most people off.

    Going tangent a bit–In general fediverse is not diverse.

    When you scroll, you realize most of the post comes from the same kind of political ideas, same country (USA), same beliefs, etc.

    You can’t spell fediverse without spelling diverse, yet I feel like fediverse is anything but diverse.

    This needs to change.
