People here will attack you for having a slightly different viewpoint than the status quo, which I can't really even figure out. It feels like a tight knit clique, and I'm not a part of it. Often times I just don't comment on things, because I expect to get downvotes and made fun of.

That’s been the opposite of my experience here on Lemmy and the exact thing I’m experiencing more and more on Reddit.

Likewise. I guess when you hang out on the equivalent of c/denofvipers you shouldn't expect a terribly friendly community. Don't like the community? Find a different one! Found your own if you have to!

From what I have seen if you explain your viewpoint people usually tell you why they disagree and you can argue with them as long as you stay respectful.

Just don't mention any software that isn't FOSS. Ever.

Agreed.

Same here. The communities I’ve interacted with here, if I was on the equivalent subreddit, I’d have be downvoted to hell for not knowing enough. I find I’m able to have proper discussions here
