That's not the Reddit I've experienced, I've seen lots of anti-israel posts and comments with lots of upvotes.

Here on Lemmy though I got banned because I disagreed with someone calling North Korea democratic. It was .ml tho and their echo chamber couldn't handle the difference of opinion.

It was not my intent to say it was amateurish or childish, just less effort required, without a value judgement.

Perhaps you'll find this one more fitting: compare a single story house and a skyscraper. You can prefer one or the other, both can be beautiful, both require skill and expertise to construct but one is obviously more complicated and expensive to make.

I absolutely agree, compare the amount of skill and effort that goes into a 2d platformer versus something like red dead redemption 2.

It's like comparing a school play versus an opera, the amount of passion they put in might be the same or often way more but the opera is aiming higher and with a bigger budget.

That's not to say that an opera is necessarily more enjoyable, just that the tickets are justifiably more expensive

How do you switch? Is it a different app? I'm using boost atm for Lemmy

Competitive gaming is a cesspool regardless of gender but I feel for women who have to deal with sexism on top of the default toxicity. Hopefully things will improve over time but i don't have high hope for the near future sadly

I'd argue NK and Florida are on different levels of democratic but I see your point.

You're probably right with your last paragraph. I do find it amusing to read when they bend backwards trying to defend something that absurd.

Outside of the conservative American subreddits that's standard too though. I rarely see anyone (not downvoted to hell) claim Israel should continue

People claim Lemmy is supposed to be "better" than Reddit but so far I've encountered more petty barons here than Reddit

Some people likely deserve getting banned but they have a very fragile echo chamber if they need to ban anyone not toeing the party line.

I was in an argument with someone on .ml unironically calling north Korea democratic and then they banned me because apparently I'm a "chauvinistic westerner" when I disagreed. I found that pretty hilarious.

Irony is that people in .ml ban you for not agreeing with their hivemind

Oh damn, did not know that was a risk

Does it get any better after season 1? The terminus plot was just incredibly stupid so I lost all interest. Empire was great though, especially as he didn't exist in the books
