I know the real answer is reddit but I really don’t want to go back now that I’ve already grown used to life without it. I was hoping for Lemmy to be a viable substitute but it isn’t. I can see how this place is wonderful for the certain type of person but that person is not me. My experience during the past 6+ months has been a net negative and I’m pretty much ready to move on. I just don’t know where else to go.
You don’t need to know their views to know what a diverse community is. Lemmy is a heavily-biasee echochamber, they want something that’s not a heavily-biasee echochamber.
It’s actually important. If, for example, they are a white nationalist they don’t really count towards diversity in any kind of productive way.
You think a white nationalist is on here arguing for more diversity…?
Yes, kinda. It’s a go-to for white nationalist types to complain about a lack of diversity in opinions when they really mean they’re mad everyone hates bigotry. They feel that all conversation is biased simply because the people don’t seem to want to be haters as much as they are. So it’s not really that they want more diversity, it’s that they want the conversations to be diverse enough to accept their views.
