"landlords are evil!"

yeah, the little old lady who i rented from for 5 years and who never raised my rent before I bought... she was so evil. and not at all a wonderful person who i still help out from time to time.

"yes, and you're a pussy for not doing it. I don't date pussies."

discussing things is interpreted as an attack by those who doesn't want to discuss them and simply want you (and everyone) to believe what they believe.

Personally, I really like the federation model. I think it has a long way to go still, but this structure makes sense to me. I’m interested in seeing where it goes.

Yeah, I like my feed having kind of random shit in it, instead of being stuff a site 'thinks' I want to see.

100% this. Reddit wasn’t always what a lot of people know it as. Lemmy has extremely early Reddit vibes. And that is a good thing. We just need to keep growing and diversifying.

Yeah but let's hope that doesn't just repeat the cycle and bring in more malignant/militant types who just want to cause internet drama to feel good about themselves.

Another normal person checking in. Sadly I don’t comment much for all the reasons you mentioned. It is some comfort to know there are a few of us around.

Smart. Commenting here on anything tends to get you harassed. Not threatened at least.

But a lot of what you wrote is just a feature of any small online community. Then you end up with these bitter types who, if you rubbed them slightly the wrong way, get up at 6 a.m., downvote everything you ever wrote and report as many of your contributions as they can get away with.

I mean, this is what got me to leave reddit, apart from the corporate stuff. I remember when I got sitewide banned for saying I let my cat go outdoors, and I was reported repeatedly for violence across many comments by some anti-cat nutbag who thinks I'm personally causing an Avian holocaust. My cat has never caught a bird... he mostly sits on the porch and lays in the garden and lets people pet him.

same. i love discussion. and the ability to acknowledge the merit of someone's differing opinion and ideas.

that doesn't exist here. it's all insults and emotional dimwits who think zeal and ideological purity are what matters.

nerds who want to be away from the normies, yep.

i started commetning on reddit in 2009. I was a evil normie invading their fun little space. left reddit because i'm not angry/lazy enough to enjoy it anymore.

there are a few of us here.

but 100% agree on the vibe here being angry teenager who is angry about Linux for some reason and loves white knighting on internet comments.

Yeah I'm having trouble filtering out the nonsense here and the extremist crazies seem to dominate the postings. So I comment on something I think is interesting and next then I know all the replies are harassing comments, not discussion.

Yeah, it's bad. I'm a person who has no ideology and my politics go far left to far right, depending on the issue. I'm mostly interested in how the world works, not how it should work and calling it names because it doesn't work the way I think it should.

Here I am the embodiment of EVIL. On reddit I was a asshole to both the left and the right, and got regularly banned for challenging group think and humanizing the 'enemy'.

I miss forums where people could talk about politics and life from various perspectives without demonizing each other, let alone ask questions. Or realized that political opinions were just opinions. Now everything is conflated. The car I drive is my political loyalty, and if I don't want an EV I'm clearly a LGBT+ hating pro-capitalist bigot. It's truly absurd. and the people who spout this nonsense think they are a supergenius will start nitpicking your grammar to prove it to themselves.

what's far scarier is the revisionist history being pushed in many states and school districts.

they don't care about reality at all.

they care about fantasy.

because he says they shit they wish they could.

You assume there are people who don't play those games.

dating is participating in toxic everything.

No. I am not interested in joining sex cultists who think they are 'know the truth path'. Thanks.

you guys need to chill and stop recruiting.

I'm intelligent enough to be a descriptivist rather than proscriptivist.

progressive messaging sucks, that's why. it says 'go to therapy and be content with what little you have'

conservative messaging says 'do this shit and you'll get money and women'
