Uh no. Lemmy is very much a groupthink entity. If you don’t agree with the hive, you’re berated and downvoted into oblivion.

Is this post a paradox?

Lemmy is great at proving me right.

"Everyone that disagrees with me is groupthink"

Edit: how dare you downvote me, groupthinker

It's worse than Reddit in this respect.

Largely because Reddit was so much more diverse. Even ol hive mindey Reddit tolerated differing views significantly better than the shit heap that is Lemmy.

Reddit does get super echo chamber-y in some places, though. Check out any thread in /r/worldnews lately and all the comments. They're all of the same opinion. At least on Lemmy I see disagreement. I see as many complaints about tankies on Lemmy as I do tankies themselves, for example. The only one I've seen in this thread has all their comments in the negative.
