It’s a shame because there a lot of potential here to make something that unites people instead of continuing the echo chamber model that the big corporations have worked hard to put us all in because it earns them money to keep us angry with one another.

This enlightened centrism bs that pretends that “divide” is some simple concept that needs to be attacked by “both sides” is just either the absolute laziest way to sift through issues or purposefully malicious.

I’ll keep blocking shit until I only have the productive instances left.

Interesting that to you “productive” is quite literally the opposite of productive, and really appears to just mean places that agree with your enlightened centrism.

Lemmy is proof that the corporate model has trained us all so well over the past decade to think that being online is all about getting mad at politics and each other so we are basically perpetuating the bullshit trends they started like the brain dead lemmings we are.

This part right here is just a wild baseless theory, and sounds extremely privileged to think that discussing serious issues that are especially important right now means “being online is all about getting mad at politics and each other so we are basically perpetuating the bullshit trends they started like the brain dead lemmings we are.”
