I seriously cannot have any degree of nuanced conversation here.

Like I get it, we all know capitalism is bad, but it feels like every time I or anyone go towards discussing the steps that need to be taken to address current looming problems in the short term, someone has to jump in and shut it down with "capitalism bad >:[ " and tear down any idea presented because its not complete and total destruction of the current economic model.

The result just feels like an echo chamber where no actual solutions get presented other than someone posting whole ass dissertations on their 33-step (where 30/33 steps are about as vague as “we’ll just handle it”) plan to fully convert the world to an anarchist commune.

Edit: I still vastly prefer Lemmy and the fediverse and a whole, my complaint here is that many of you are TOO INTENSE. You blow up small scale discussion.

      Religion is fucking bad, though: without hyperbole, it is and always has been a scourge on our collective existence.

        I find it more concerning that you’d judge people for not prioritising 70-90 or so years of their life over eternity.

      Yea, I saw couple of people that want to discuss religion and faith in the civil manner but the majority is drowning out the conversation. I would love to have a safe space for discussing such topics but I already have couple of communities that I contribute as a sole person and I am unwilling to create another one.

        Would be nice if there were enough religious people on Lemmy to form a functional community. Probably one of the few things I miss about Reddit. Although r/Christianity had many athiests just coming in to dunk on Christians and was very poorly moderated, unfortunately.
