I’m always surprised by the quality of comments on Lemmy and the analysis provided, often by experts in their field. It gives a sense that the average Lemmy user is a lot smarter than the average member of the public.

Also, when it comes to politics, I think the average Lemmy user is pretty perceptive of what real power dynamics are at play and what interests society should be looking to promote.

It’s been a pleasure to be on this platform with you all. Where do you all come from? And why is it so hard to find people like you in the real world?

    Nice, Thank :)

    Well, that depend, we can also write some very dumb thing, even clash with each other. Even myself. You can see that in the mod log.

    I don’t find us smarter than anyone and there is some bias due to our culture and knowledge. Which kind of people have heard about Lemmy ? Not a lot. We belong to the 5% Linux market share, maybe even less. :)

    I think longer post play a key part in argumentations’ quality, we not only react but also convey our thoughts, then add a sprinkle of moderators that care about human and try to find the best way to solve an issue. That’s part of the recipe.

    Edit : typo
