Which instances have the most diverse points of view? - Lemmy.World

Since Trump, I’m finding the Lemmy.world experience to be increasingly akin to an echo chamber and it’s quite frankly starting to bore me. (Inb4, I’m a left winger and I don’t like Trump, but I’m much more interested in a good spirited debate or novel points of view than I am in Orange man Nazi circle jerks) If I wanted the same repetitive comments to be upvoted and any different opinion at all to be downvoted and even blocked/banned, I’d have just stayed on Reddit. Are there any instances where different, opposing and novel points of view are celebrated and debated rather than simply derided and downvoted?

Elon Musk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a nazi salute. - Lemmy.World

I fully understand the man is controversial to say the least, I’m not a huge fan myself, but I think that if he was legitimately a Nazi, that he’s smart enough to not outright advertise it. Socially awkward, autistic, right winger - Yes Literally a Nazi - No Bring on the downvotes 🤣

What's a good joke present to get your SO for Christmas? - Lemmy.World

My dad always like to tell us about the Christmas when my uncle bought my aunt a tin opener (a good one!) for Christmas, she was apparently rather unimpressed but the story has given years worth of good laughs. What terrible/joke presents can you think of that would be a good laugh on Christmas day?

Elon Musk is not an idiot - Lemmy.World

I understand why he is unpopular with many people, but he is not stupid which is something that is often claimed. No-one becomes a multi-billionaire due to a lack of intelligence or common sense. Musk knows exactly what he is doing, he didn’t buy Twitter to make a quick buck, he bought it derail it and he’s done that quite thoroughly. $35bn to Musk is pocket change. I mean I get it, if I was a big Twitter user and a new CEO made it something that I now hated, I’d think the bloke was an idiot, but that is actually just a difference of opinion and has nothing to do with intelligence. In short, whilst Musk is clearly very unpopular with some people the man clearly is not an idiot. Some people really don’t like it when you tell them that.

What are you getting your significant other for Christmas? - Lemmy.World

I’m looking for inspiration! She wants to go on a holiday at some point during the year as a gift, but I really want to give her something on Christmas day.
