Feel pretty much the same. The echo chambers seem to be as bad if not worse than Reddit. People just don't want diverse opinions. Everything is black or white regardless of the problem. I will probably leave soon. I honestly don't feel like lemmy and the type of people it attracts are good for my mental health.

You can really tell by the replies the people who have been through a divorce and those who have not. IYKYK

No one exists with views like this. I've done my research. I know! LOL

When faced with a different view point they can't fathom it's easier to say it is not possible than to have a rational discussion. It's easier to hate on people than to try to understand them. I find both sides to be extremely lazy in their thinking.

You have my pity.

Not sure I can control whether someone hates me. I think most centrists would be considered passive as compared to the extremists on either end. I don't know too many hardcore moderates.

The number of groups the younger generations hate is amusing. If only 75% of the population would die off they could live in the utopia they deserve.

Extremists on both sides hate people in the middle. As long as extremists hate me I know I'm in the right place.

With the ability to self identify I don't understand how an article like this can be written. How are you able to determine who is female, male or one of the many other genders without asking each person? How is it possible to say the conference was overrun by men? Wouldn't you have to infer their gender by their appearance which is inherently insensitive and problematic?
