I’m always surprised by the quality of comments on Lemmy and the analysis provided, often by experts in their field. It gives a sense that the average Lemmy user is a lot smarter than the average member of the public.

Also, when it comes to politics, I think the average Lemmy user is pretty perceptive of what real power dynamics are at play and what interests society should be looking to promote.

It’s been a pleasure to be on this platform with you all. Where do you all come from? And why is it so hard to find people like you in the real world?

    This is a self serving thread if I’ve ever seen one!

    Lemmy users, myself included, are not smarter than the rest of the population, but we are a small community, a small community that probably joined for similar reasons, meaning we probably have better cohesion than other similar communities.
