      I’m new here but this reminds me a lot of what reddit was like around 2008. I and lots of people came from slashdot, to be able to talk about things other than computers. So everyone is a nerd that cares about data and wants to have a genuine conversation, and I think that makes my experience more intelligent because it becomes less about winning by drowning interesting topics with the same rehashed jokes or tropes, and more about formulating your own thoughts as best you can.

      Lemmy also tends towards misogyny and truscum attitudes moreso than Reddit. There are great instances like blahaj or zip where that’s not the case, but on Lemmy it’s not feasible to only view posts on subscribed communities, while on Reddit it is. And that means it’s easier to build a progressive feed on Reddit.

      Also one of the Lemmy lead devs is transphobic.

            Haha relying on the DSM for proper psyc analysis. You must be a model Gen G/millenial sheeple. How about you stop reading those programming books and just rely on your common sense huh? If I walk walking around dressing like the opposite gender and go under surgery to mutilate my body ofcourse the entire universe will call me crazy.

              The universe doesn’t actually care about gender, only humans do. Humans invented gender to simplify social relationships. Like all simplifications, sometimes it’s inaccurate. You might think gender is some innate biological characteristic, but that is a religious fiction and you are a fool for believing it.
