Just to clarify, I don’t think it’s a problem that hatred is minimal here, and I don’t just mean politics.
I feel like I very rarely see alternative opinions about anything, whether it be software, ai, news about companies, etc. it just seems like everyone universally agrees about anything with only a tiny handful of exceptions.
It makes me hesitant to believe I’m on the “correct side” and I never see any arguments from opposition. This makes me worried that I’m in some sort of echo chamber. In real life, I do see much more diverse opinions and, if I only used the fediverse for social media, would likely be weaker in defending my own since their arguments would be “new” to me.
I understand the reasons for which the fediverse has pretty collective opinion, but it does still worry me. I want to be able to see all the other people with their own thoughts (given it’s respectful) on the Internet, which should be the most capable tool to do so.
Your first phrase says op places the Entire lack of diversity on the lack of trolls. That’s quite black and white view from your part IMO.
Sometimes we have the tankie trolls here on lemmy too, and sometimes back in the day I had good discussions on reddit, nothing is usually 100% or 0% in those cases
No, the person I replied to said that, they were replying to OP.
If your answer to “where are the different opinions” is “no trolls,” then you are putting the lack of diversity on trolls. Which is black and white, yes, and why I disagree with it.
Which is why “no trolls” is a bad answer to OP’s question.
