I am just wondering... is it me- or is there a LOT of just general negativity here.

Every other post I see is...

  1. America is bad.
  2. Capitalism is bad. Socialism/Communism is good.
  3. If you don't like communism, you are a fascist nazi.

Honestly, it's kind of killing my mood with Lemmy. There are a few decent communities/subs here, but, the quality of content appears to be falling.

I mean, FFS. It can't just be me that is noticing this. It honestly feels like I am supporting a communist platform here.

I am on social media to post and read about things related to technology, automation, race cars, etc.

Every other technology post, is somebody bashing on Elon Musk (actually- that is deserved), or talking about Reddit (Let it go. Seriously. We are here, it is there).

On my hobby of liking racecars, I guess, half of the people on lemmy feel it is OK to vandalize a car for being too big.... and car hate culture is pretty big.

All of this is really turning off my mood regarding lemmy.

Which of those posts in the screen shot are “America bad!!” or “you are required to like communism”?

I mean, I just randomly visited a post on lemmy world about people in europe not having A/C units... and every other post says something along the lines of America is bad.

Its in [email protected]

Guess, people can't imagine other parts of the world have a different climate. Nope. Just America bad.

I feel like “america bad” is likely an incomplete summary of what those posts said.

?? Okay, I read the comments about AC and didn’t see anyone criticizing the United States at all. People were discussing Europe, the UK, climate and air conditioning.
