I think this logic is a little flawed. Say you’re a well educated and intellectually honest left-wing person who likes a good debate and goes to a place like Truth Social to engage with people that have opposing beliefs. This person is going to receive a ton of hate for their efforts. They’re going to “smell shit” everywhere. Doesn’t still mean they’re wrong.
This applies to Lemmy aswell. Certain topics simply just don’t get a good reception here because of the audience. The experience of using this platform is wildly different to someone who generally aligns with the “activist left” compared to someone whose closer to the centre.

Ye 😊👍 I think You got it. I am pretty left and I do tend to get flack for it.
I am also a bit of an outspoken atheist. I get flack for that too.
But I just don’t take any of it too personal. I try to me more of an observer than a reactor.
