Continue to still interact or else it will become an echo chamber
It's already an echo chamber. That's just how human interaction is. People aren't going to share unpopular opinions just to be argued with and downvoted. It's not worth it.
Take the recent question about religion. No way am I going to answer that, because I'm not atheist and I know how non-atheists are treated online.
I hear you, but I’m not here to fight or be accused, ridiculed or hated upon. You can’t save people from themselves.
If it were only a few, but -60 within a few hours with such a small amount of Lemmy users tells me, this is not the place for civilized discussion. Not to mention that it got deleted… no thanks, I won’t be putting too much work and thought into critical comments anymore when there’s a risk of going to waste anyway.
