So far I'm liking this, that in Reddit fuckcars and other subs would become full circle jerks, with any discussion squashed and "me too" comments ruling the day.

So far, I've enjoyed that me balanced conversations emerge in Lemmy communities.

Fuck cars have had a lot of good points, but buried in falling to understand other perspectives. Here folks can actually see perspectives that would block their goals, and maybe actually talk about some paths forward that might get both sides living with it.

I mean now it is more the other way around. I have scrolled way too much to never find any actual fuck cars member or maybe they are just hypocrites.

Well you do get that, the poster for example. And generally you see replies that are clearly from fuck cars perspective.

Neither sure of the discussion is able to participate without at least seeing the other perspective, which seems healthier.
