  • The opinion monoculture is not specific to Lemmy. Most social platforms, and even real life social circles, live in bubbles.

    The Internet anonymity combined with the upvote incentives only make the problem worse.

    I agree with your complaint but I don’t see it as something that can be fixed. We can all do our part to engage civilly and respectfully with others, but it won’t be enough to change the culture.











  • We already built the expensive Internet infrastructure that allows any digital media, including movies, to be delivered to your computer for virtually $0 extra cost. However, even though the infrastructure was built you are “not allowed” to access the digital media unless you pay some arbitrary price.

    In your example, having a washer/fridge installed in the house is not that different from having an Internet router installed in your house. In both cases the infrastructure is readily available and costs nothing to use but you cannot access the services for artificial reasons.

    I’m obviously not defending Audi as I think it’s a ridiculous concept but this is already happening at a large scale.
