I might get hate because of my instance here, but in an attempt to better understand Lemmy I’m wondering if some of you can shed a light on why you chose this instance, what’s great about it, what could be better, is the instance rivalries something that affects your use of the platform or is it just background noise?

I’m not trying to start a fight or mud slinging, it would be good if several people could say their piece and nobody shame or attack them for it no matter how much you disagree.

    some .worlders like to uncharitably paint us as idiots who haven’t realized the USSR fell already.

    Which is ironic, considering how many of them I see saying “comrade Trump” and talking about the KGB in the present tense.

    It is very annoying to end up in an argument about modern day Russia with someone who you quickly realize only knows what they saw from watching Archer.

      Yeah, I agree. And if any particular user comes into the conversation with, say, dehumanization and homophobia, that’s absolutely not worth reasoning with in my opinion. But yes, listening to a few repeated arguments day in and day out gets real tired fast.
