I was really on-board of the idea of Lemmy in the beginning. It all made a lot of sense, and I felt like a part of the community.

But now it feels like its just an echo chamber of people, who seems to have very extreme beliefs.

It's starting to be clear that the whole "ML - Leninism Marxism" was actually a big part of Lemmy.

I'm a centrist, slightly leaning towards the left, but I don't feel like I truly belong in the demographic of Lemmy any longer. Reddit is starting to pull me back, and Boost still works, which only makes it harder to resist...

I left Lemmy for like 6 months because I got tired of the echo chamber. I'm usually inclined to the left but this was just too much and too extreme. There were some pretty interesting topics that I learned here, like how badly designed society is and why cars are an artificial need. Those "intellectual" discussions (if you could call them that) kept me engaged, but even those spaces were ruined by people totally closed to the idea of a middle-ground.
