Why is the herd mentality so common on Lemmy? (lemmus.org)

It feels like this is very intense here compared to other social media services/protocols.

Why is that?

You walk into a place with a big sign that says nude strip club. When you go in if you see nude people you can't be outraged. You knew exactly what type of place you were walking into.

Lemmy like most all social media is overwhelmingly used by YOUNG people. A majority of young people think a like. Nothing new there.

If you go to a social media platform and are annoyed at the opinions of young people, then leave.
