There is always going to be the majority of people who are all attracted to the same or similar traits.

Which is where the phrase ‘the tyranny of the majority’ comes in. Just because you’re in the majority doesn’t mean you have any kind of moral or aesthetic superiority.

Don’t get me wrong you have a right to like what you like and to dislike what you don’t like.

What you don’t have is the right to tell people that what they like is wrong.

I don’t know about anyone else but that attitude is why I left reddit.

What I value about how Lemmy is now is that in general people are a little bit more willing to say, ‘I don’t like it but that just means I don’t engage with it’ rather than ‘Kill it with fire and downvotes.’
