    I would love to have an unbiased Lemmy. But this is filled with mostly extreme far left people I talked to. I also get down voted any time I mention most people don’t use Imperial/Fahrenheit, except 5% of the world. Lemmy feels kind of hostile for open discussion.

      Yeah, I think I saw that post.

      Lots of “it’s OK when we do it” sentiment.

      I’ve noticed the majority (or at least the vocal ones) don’t really stand on principles such as free speech. And I don’t mean as in a “free speech” Lemmy instance. I mean in terms of inalienable rights.

      To many here, things like that are only for the “good” people, as determined by them.

      Have you considered that US standard unit users know that and it’s just annoying when someone points it out unnecessarily for the hundredth time?
