I feel like things on Lemmy were pretty chill several months ago, and that’s started to change.
People used to talk each other like they would talk to a neighbor. Now I get the sense that people have become quick to be negative, attack, and not be constructive.
Am I crazy in feeling like the vibe has changed?
Did you miss the part where I’m saying that their stupidity is causing us to be more angry?
I also find a lot of lemmy replies is idiots replying and criticising a comment without adding any corrections.
Are right wing shooters NOT nutbags?
Are both sides people NOT morons?
Is Trump NOT a cancer?
Unless you have something to add and refute my claim, kindly do fuck off with your grandstanding.
“Right wing nutbags” did not type out your comment. You did. If you can’t convey anger in a way that doesn’t straight-up insult people, all you’re doing is alienating people, and you really need to grow up.
I don’t give a shit about alienating people that see women as second class citizens and trans people as something to be destroyed.
You can feel good about yourself being “grown up”, I’ll rather support those than need it instead of grandstanding on lemmy like some douche.
Its often difficult, but important, to be respectful while disagreeing. You’ll find you alienate people a lot less, and win more converts if you do.
If its an outright bigoted comment tho, no need to respond: just downvote and report it, and move on.
Exactly. The vast majority of people aren’t brick walls, they’re literally people with their own experiences and set of knowledge. They’re all going to make decisions using that set because they literally don’t know what other people experience.
