  • Lemmy has a echo chamber problem.

    People don’t want to challenge their beliefs, their want a space in which all agree on the same stupid thing.

    When I joined I was curious about how Lemmy/federation works. When it was explained to me it was said that with this approach there will be no one big Hitler who controls the discourse.

    I had a hunch that this means that we will just get a bunch of smaller Hitlers. And… Well…

    The problem in itself is that Lemmy means that you host a whole bunch of communities. Thats to much power concentrated in one place.

    It should be that everyone hosts one community and all communities can talk to each other.

    Then an Ideologie wouldn’t have a one-stop-for-all place to fester.

    Everyone of us is an idiot in some way. We need other people with different views to make us aware of our idiocy. Otherwise we stay ignorant and stupid.

    So I don’t think you interacted with bots. You interacted with cultists.
