  • The amount of tankies and idiots with idiotic opinions is way to high on here. And in general I realy get what they are saying. Other platforms with a bigger user base don’t have that big of a problem with diversity. It bothered me too, it seems like the whole of lemmy has a very idiotic position on a lot of things and saying anything that is even in the slightest against that gets you down voted. That is something that sadly developed over time. In the early days everyone was way more friendly and less radical people were on here.

    that’s just the nature of smart creative people

    Well. No. Say that to yourself, but ideology and belive is a lot more complex than: I am smart, so I am left. Your believes mostly stem from influences in your childhood, like parents, friends, people you trust. It’s dangerous to lift yourself above others with different believes.

    Like if you’re really wanting to be challenged, and you’re a conservative, go to https://socialistworker.org/ and read up.

    The problem is that a socialist worker doesn’t realy have a place to go to challenge their own opinion. Lemmy sadly has gone the way of an eco chamber. And for political discourse you need other people that have an opinion like yours that support you in your arguments. Currently it’s more like “this guy has a bad opinion, downvote him to hell”

    It’s not enough for me to leave, because in general I realy like it here and with enough comunitys blocked it has become bearable.


  • If all your friends have an apple phone it’s easy to buy one too. They have some features that makes having an android in an apple friend group quite anoying. For example the classic: “I’m going to air drop you the picture.” And then only after every apple user in the room has got the picture they think about sending it the classic way to the outsider. It doesn’t sound like much, but it doesn’t just happen with air drop, but with a lot of those features. Source: I’m the android guy in an apple friend group.

    They all are far from techy… I think it’s wrong to generalize, but I think if you don’t know shit it’s easier to go with apple. Android usualy is far more customizable, but some people just don’t care and want a phone that just works. And for those apple can be the right option, because in general it’s easier to understand at a first glance.
