    And that’s what makes it great.

    Not really. It’s very tiresome when pretty much every thread turns into “capitalism bad” even from the most benign topics. Not that I disagree with it but it’s just everywhere, to the point it’s becoming a meme. That’s what viking is talking about, there needs to be more diversity in the discussion otherwise it’s just everyone circlejerking saying the same things over and over. It’s not attractive to anyone that doesn’t share those same views.

    You can open a thread and almost play a lemmy bingo with the comments:

    • No matter the topic, capitalism will be blamed
    • Why are you driving 10 miles to that place? You should walk instead!
    • We should ban cars and replace them with trains. Put trains everywhere!
    • Linux good, Firefox best
    • A story on a cop dying will have lots of comments celebrating their murder and calling for more policemen to die
