Just to clarify, I don’t think it’s a problem that hatred is minimal here, and I don’t just mean politics.
I feel like I very rarely see alternative opinions about anything, whether it be software, ai, news about companies, etc. it just seems like everyone universally agrees about anything with only a tiny handful of exceptions.
It makes me hesitant to believe I’m on the “correct side” and I never see any arguments from opposition. This makes me worried that I’m in some sort of echo chamber. In real life, I do see much more diverse opinions and, if I only used the fediverse for social media, would likely be weaker in defending my own since their arguments would be “new” to me.
I understand the reasons for which the fediverse has pretty collective opinion, but it does still worry me. I want to be able to see all the other people with their own thoughts (given it’s respectful) on the Internet, which should be the most capable tool to do so.
Yes. Was just thinking about this earlier. I don’t like AI, and clearly most people on here don’t either, but I’m worried I’m in an echo chamber.
The amount of tankies is also bothersome. You can be against capitalism without being a communist, and I don’t really see anyone like that here.
Amusingly, both of those (pro-genai (non corporate) and non-tankie anti-capitalists) is the kind of crowd my instance has a lot of ;)
