Thank you, that is such a reasonable and intelligent response.
Agreed. The userbase is a bit too homogeneous. Also if you say something remotely positive or try to bring some nuance to topics that have a strong circle jerk value on Lemmy you'll get downvoted into oblivion.
Tesla drivers are now Nazis?
Not really. He's just afraid that his satellite constellation will get targeted by the Russians. They probably threatened him and he being who he is (attached to his companies) started to cave.

Just try sync for some time and you'll notice a huge difference.
Realistically it's the only way he can sustain the development costs with such a small userbase. I've subscribed monthly to show my support. It's not really that much money considering how much I use sync.
As long as we keep posting content and the users continue to slowly grow there is hope.
If you have the right opinions Lemmy can be a comfortable place.
