I defederated months ago for exactly why you described. Night and day difference in how enjoyable Lemmy can be.
Like, yes, capitalism is failing us. But jumping into every comment thread and shutting down every conversation that's not advocating for the complete and utter destruction of the current economic model is exhausting. And that's the least toxic reason I chose to block that instance.
At first, I did miss some big FOSS communities that were there, but over time, similar communities elsewhere became more active. Good riddance.
Yes capitalism is failing us but their belief that forcing everyone into their "ism" will lead to utopia is a disingenuous lie.
I think we all want a government that represents the individual. I think we want the opportunity to contribute to society. I think we want the opportunity for self-betterment. I think we want to be understood by society. But choosing to die on the altar of some "ism" doesn't get us there.
Whooosh
