TBH I like takes like this.

Even if I can see pretty clear contradictions, it feels like the old internet, not the uniform, bandwagoning, loud bog of modern social media. Have an upvote, friend.

i might be wrong (and i'm frequently wrong about things) but at least it was an honest attempt :D

And see, that is a wonderful view.

I will take “I might be wrong about this” over absolutely any belief that’s based on absolute loyalty to some party or influencer or something like that. And the “new” internet doesn’t really reward that, unfortunately, it rewards angry conformity because tribalism is more engaging.

I worry about this on Lemmy TBH, with folks bandwagoning on some clickbaity sources as the top posts, and mods uninterested in doing anything about that.
