Just making sure I'm in the right place. I cannot see any developed communities here so I've started wondering, what's the real place everyone from Reddit has moved to? I've heard something about Discuit, but never tried it.
I am on Lemmy (here and a few other instances) but when I get into discussions in comments here I am starting to wonder if I should just quit the whole social media concept altogether. So far I have mostly stayed since I still need to get some news from somewhere but RSS might be a better option in the long run.
I've been called a centrist because I called for socialized healthcare, cheaper education, higher taxes on the rich, and putting the needs of people above the desires of the companies.
Apparently that's not liberal enough for a lot of users.
Ehm. I think you should visit other communities then. And skip the instances filled by trolls and those people. I've had a different experience here on Lemmy.
The average discussion is fine, mostly I don't like how certain kinds of comments make me want to respond over and over again with certain people while we are going in circle, neither convincing the other.
That's understandable, but we don't need to always convince the other one or ourselves. It's perfectly okay to just get more knowledgable and that's it.
I've been ramping up my RSS feed collection constantly just to see that the majority of trustworthy sites are paywalled by now. I'd love to see some sort of "Netflix for news" (i.e. one subscription, multiple sources) but that's yet to come, I'm afraid.
Maybe if feedly pro were to implement (ai generated) summaries of my favorite sources, I'd be willing to subscribe there.
Until then, I've grown a taste for podcasts. Those are mostly free with large overlap in content I'd have to pay for for if I read it myself. Kinda funny…
