    I find this and other comments like this hilarious because you’re 100% correct and yet at the same time lemmy is a cesspool of people on every post about an owner, or landlord, or millionaire/billionaire about killing them, or beating them, or bringing out the guillotine, or eating them, etc etc.

    Again, you’re right. It’s amazing how tone deaf people are here though to not be aware their behavior reeks of the same extremism.

    It’s why I’m very much on the fence about continuing here outside of the memes. The people here are disgustingly naive and not healthy quite frankly.

        Where do I find one of those? Most communities with any traffic feel like they’re full of the same people with the same axes to grind, just talking about slightly different subjects.

          Try looking at trendingcommunities@endlesstalk.org. You may find something of interest there. I too am struggling to find instances that aren’t full of radicals. On reddit there were only a handful of right wing subs to avoid, but like 90% of reddit was left leaning so it was harder to avoid them. The same seems to be true here. I’ve had to block several non-political related communities because they had become overly political.

      Idk why the downvotes. It’s seriously off putting to be surrounded by people that clearly have no idea how the world works. It was funny before Trump. Now I take these meme waves with a grain of salt. Idiots in large numbers are dangerous. At least reddit was easy enough to use that the cesspool was diluted with less intense morons.

          I’m a landlord. Never evicted anyone. It’s a super high risk position to be in. My mortgage isn’t free. The upkeep to my property isn’t free. Time spent vetting renters so my neighbors don’t have to live next to crackheads isn’t free. You pay rent so you don’t have to think about maintenence costs, mortgage, risking allowing others to live in property you spent money you worked for on. All of that and any other subtly is lost on here. Going to work and enjoying it is possible. The world isn’t black and white. Communism doesn’t work on a large scale. Etc.

      Pretty amazing how a small group on Lemmy can make Reddit look almost sane.
