Hi. So when I’m watching a tv show or movie, and it hits me in the feels, I will think something like “Oh, this movie is wholesome, or this tv show is wholesome” Even if it has swearing in it, as long as the message is a good one. I’ve been on Lemmy now a couple days, and I rate lemmy super-duper wholesome. Maybe it was the question/thread I asked, but the responses I got were very nice. Lots of people love to cuddle dogs as self-care and by golly, that’s just as wholesome as it gets.

    My guess is that Lemmy trends towards an older audience (average age is probably 30s), and also a lot of Lemmy come from similar walks of life (many are very technical or work in IT and similar).

    You don’t find many people arguing over political differences, either. Generally people agree rather than having divisive opinions.

    Also definitely playing into it is that many social media platforms are deliberately divisive as it drives usage higher.

      I don’t either because I blocked most of the politics and news communities, but I’m still pretty sure those discussions are happening
