I knew it would be downvoted. I guess humans are evolutionarily hard-wired for conformity, because being ostracized from your tribe usually meant death. Considering all of the humans throughout history who were punished for going against the mob, only to later be celebrated, this is a maladaptive trait in many respects.

Edit:

I will say that there are more open-minded, independent thinkers on Lemmy than there are in a lot of other communities.
