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.
I think the other person that commented is having a worse experience because they are on lemmy.world lol. I didn't realize how bad the trolls were on that instance was until I hopped to dbzer0.
I remember how reddit was. I stopped using it as a social media around 2015ish, around the time I stopped using Twitter. This is better. I was trying to disagree on why this feels better, not telling you that your opinion is wrong.
