Replace lemmy with The Internet and it would be the same thing.

True. But I kind of hoped lemmy would be different. After hearing about the evil algorithms of Youtube, Facebook, etc using fear and anger to keep you engaged with their platform, I came to hope that with a non profit federated system there would be more diverse discussions with more tolerance for different points of view. But as you said, it is basically just the internet average.

After all, no evil corporate master plan is needed. It seems to me like people just like to live in filter bubbles if given the option.
