Lemmy probably feels like Reddit when it first started, all warm cuddly and friendly to newcomers eager to discuss and collaborate around central topics.
I joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.
I love it how people hijack my post for their own causes, like in this case the fight against internet gentrification...lolol
Some people think differnetly, for me, all you're saying is you dont' agree with some of the popular and recent opinions and way of thinking.
