Have you confused anti-consumer (doing something that harms people buying goods and services) with anti-consumerist (being against the buying and selling of goods and services)? Lemmy is not anti-consumer. It's the opposite almost always. It is frequently anti-capitalist or anti-consumerist though. These are not the same thing.

Life in general from what they're posting!

Lemmy the developers, or some people on Lemmy who you think are representative of the entire platform?
Can't possibly say.
I'm talking about the vibe and theme of the platform itself, not any particular people or group. How could I possibly get that data?
Wtf is with this coy nonsense? Are you a troll or something?
If I were a troll I'd have something clever to reply to you but I don't know what you're after here.
