Don't even bother. Lemmy is not the place to have these discussions.

Your story doesn't drive clicks though...

I've spend many holidays alone at this point. Even last Christmas.

For New Years I usually try to get to the city, and walk around for a couple of hours enjoying the chaos around. You might bump into some random people, which could lead to who knows what?

Get them out.

Actually I don't feel that for any instance, be they extreme right left or center.

Let the users pick for themselves, instead of forcing them into a position.

If it seems wild to you to fedrate with Metq, why don't you just defederate yourself then?

Because you actually have that power. You yourself can decide.

If .world deferates the entire instance, people like me who wants to federate with them no longer has a choice.

Wow, a sane take!? I'm surprised that this popped up between all the anti-israel propaganda here on Lemmy.

Yadda yadda yadda... You can just block them yourself. No need to force everyone to miss out on them, just because you may think it's wrong to federate with them.

I was really on-board of the idea of Lemmy in the beginning. It all made a lot of sense, and I felt like a part of the community.

But now it feels like its just an echo chamber of people, who seems to have very extreme beliefs.

It's starting to be clear that the whole "ML - Leninism Marxism" was actually a big part of Lemmy.

I'm a centrist, slightly leaning towards the left, but I don't feel like I truly belong in the demographic of Lemmy any longer. Reddit is starting to pull me back, and Boost still works, which only makes it harder to resist...

Yes, I meant unbiased, sorry.

But look at our scores. We are voices that defies the echo chamber. Therefor we must be silenced.

It sucks, because I actually genuinely was happy for Lemmy, and had moved all my browsing over here. But alas, it seems that I can no longer use this platform for news. I will go back to having this community blocked.

PS) Try going to r/worldnews and Reddit, and check what the tone of audience is over there. Much more biased towards Israel, which is a no-brainer in my world.
