I notice that a lot here on Lemmy, and I think that's because most of us here have at least an above-average understanding of current technologies, and tend to forget that we're a very small minority of people. So when above-average understandings are commonplace in your online bubble, your view of what an "average" understanding is can become skewed.

Frankly, it’s a bit insufferable at times. For me, Lemmy really put into focus how we all sound, myself included, at times (most of the time). We need a more diverse mix of people around here!

I agree! I think the Fediverse needs more "normies" to be present around here. Not just for the sake of having more numbers and being a more popular platform, but we need difference of opinion, and it needs to be embraced much better than it currently is.

When everybody in a community agrees on 99% of things, they tend to become rather tight-knit. But whenever that 1% comes up which goes against the flow, the reactions around here tend to be quick and harsh, and the 99% of other things you previously agreed with that person on get thrown out the window all because they don't share the same opinion about Linux as you, or something.

It's not a healthy pattern for a growing community.
