Welcome!

I have really enjoyed Lemmy so far. Most folks here are good to talk to, understand nuance and are generally not giant dicks.

That said, we still have trolls or the occasional spam account making the rounds but that has been a small part of my experience.

I will say, most communities are more left leaning, so if you dont lean that way, you may find that people disagree with you but as long as you are civil and argue or discuss issues in good faith, I think people are willing to listen for the most part.

With all that said, there are still echo chambers here. But most of us know the world is burning, and we do our best to inform each other and build good community. We can only do so much.
