Never doubt your ability to be influenced by propaganda. The technique that broke the internet in 2015, lying and then confirming the lie more convincingly with a second account, is still very successful today.
Largely because Reddit was so much more diverse. Even ol hive mindey Reddit tolerated differing views significantly better than the shit heap that is Lemmy.
Reddit does get super echo chamber-y in some places, though. Check out any thread in /r/worldnews lately and all the comments. They’re all of the same opinion. At least on Lemmy I see disagreement. I see as many complaints about tankies on Lemmy as I do tankies themselves, for example. The only one I’ve seen in this thread has all their comments in the negative.
It usually gets buried in downvotes tho, maniacs are everywhere…

confirms convincingly
That broke the internet long before the 2000s.
yeah, doesnt he remember the 1370s?
When they took down Constantinople with a DDOS.
Oh, well, it might seem like it for you, on lemmy.world. My instance didn’t defederate a single other instance, and I can tell you there’s plenty.
Uh no. Lemmy is very much a groupthink entity. If you don’t agree with the hive, you’re berated and downvoted into oblivion.
Is this post a paradox?
Lemmy is great at proving me right.
“Everyone that disagrees with me is groupthink”
Edit: how dare you downvote me, groupthinker
It’s worse than Reddit in this respect.

I see you’re on lemmy.world. Try out a Lemmy that hasn’t blocked the tankie instances for a change, it’s wild.
