    And not so long ago, you did get heard, but there was also a 50/50 chance of being called a capitalist pig and a baby killer regardless of what you contributed.

    It seems that everyone has found their own corners on Lemmy now, so that is nice.

      It’s because it’s not as homogeous a platform since the flood from Reddit. The problem with any small platform isn’t strictly because they’re small, mind you, but a side effect of getting bigger is usually more people and that means more a diverse range of opinions. So the assholes are more drowned out.

      It’s not a hard and fast rule but that’s usually what I’ve noticed.
