I joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.

And Lemmy isn’t an echo chamber? Try posting any conservative opinions around here and see how many downvotes you get.
I don’t know if that’s fair. Contemporary “conservatism” is pretty indefensible.
How so?
Let’s start to the Florida curriculum telling kids the good things about slavery and move on to objecting to giving schoolchildren free school lunches. Then there’s the encouraging suicides of trans kids by taking away the one thing preventing that suicide. I can keep going if you like.

That’s misinformation

Then there’s the encouraging suicides of trans kids by taking away the one thing preventing that suicide

Most kids identifying as trans nowadays are not actually. There’s a strange Internet derived obsession with being trans, and it’s important to protect kids from permanent damage over a temporary phase.

That’s misinformation

It is not. I’ve read the text myself. You’re gaslighting.

Bullshit. Cite your sources.

So, yes. Please come up with a real example

Sure, as soon as you cite your sources and stop gaslighting.

I’ve read the text myself.

Then quote it

Sure thing:

slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit

Now cite your source.

That’s a factual statement

No it isn’t. There is no benefit to a skill if you’re a slave. None.

Still waiting for that source…
