Topic is about Lemmy as a whole, and I’m responding with my impression of that. Your re-interpretation of my impression doesn’t really make sense to me. I’m sure others have different experiences with their own usage of Lemmy but mine does not revolve around my instance enough for me to even form an impression of it. It certainly doesn’t dominate my user experience.

I do appreciate the responses here hinting that I’m wrong about my experience on Lemmy but I had a 13 year old Reddit account that I nuked after the API debacle and I remember the monoculture that developed. Lemmy is not Reddit even if a few instances have their own subcultures. Doesn’t invalidate my impression.

Thanks for pointing out how my opinion is wrong though.

That it doesn’t feel like a culture at all, that you have to adopt. There’s genuine discussion, not just a few top meme-comments and a sea of ignored participation.

I don’t think they’ve ever given a fuck about praise from progressives. This is just a reset back their default position facilitated by the election of a fascist pos. Protections have always been lip service at best. They’ll soak up the praise as long as it’s profitable to do so and not a moment longer.
