I like discussion and hearing different point of views. Lemmy is great for one side but i've supplemented it with reading HackerNews. I find the discussion on there way more good faith and even though its stupidly pro AI I still like reading why people like AI and posts about how they are using it.
Mostly im just hear for Tech and Linux and memes. After leaving Reddit I barely ever return. Sometimes i open up a sub to scroll the top posts of the month to see if anything was missed
Yeah Lemmy is egregiously one sided and many users here harass you for not being part of the groupthink.
It is way too tech focused and tech people are incredibly insular in their perspective and think anyone who doesn't think they way they do is stupid. Which is infuriating and why most non tech people hate tech people.
Linux is great for servers and technical work, but it's never going to be a useful OS for the vast majority of people.
