Before anyone responds to @S1CK___0F___Society@lemmy.today offering a factual rebuttal, a quick look at their post history shows their hobby is nearly exclusively collecting downvotes through various means across many different communities.
Collecting downvotes
It’s what happens when you tell people the truth.
Clearly we’re not worthy of your wisdom.
Specially here, but you can think whatever you want, I couldn’t care less (:
Yeah, that’s looks to be part of your problem. You’re talking “at” people, not to them. Further, you mix in unnecessary insulting language in whatever point you’re trying to make which immediately alienates your audience.
So you’re not changing minds. Which raises the question, why do you bother? Do you get some kind of personal value out of your martyrdom? Does it allow you some kind of comfort that you’ve convinced yourself you’re right which lets you double down on your edgy takes? Are you angry in life and can’t vent to those you interact with in real life, so you dump on strangers on the internet? If so, I don’t think that is healthy for you.
Oh, well if they got downvotes… Of course we can tell he’s a bad person, he disagreed with the hive mind. And we can tell that he was wrong in all those instances because he got downvoted.
Best to just fully disengage from anybody who disagrees with the hive mind, to be safe.
Edit: InB4 this person writes exactly the same thing about me. Hey, why don’t we just ban anyone who has negative karma and just be done with it?

If that’s your defense of them, you haven’t looked at their posts. I’m not stopping you. Go ahead! Do you still jump to their defense now? Is this person’s interesting and insightful views being crushed under the boot of conformity or perhaps is it something else?
And we can tell that he was wrong in all those instances because he got downvoted.
If nearly every community you go to doesn’t want you there, then its more than just a philosophical disagreement about the material being discussed.

That’s cute. There is zero obligation to interact with jerks simply because they disagree with you. Being open minded doesn’t mean you have to consume their vitriol irrespective of how toxic it is or how abrasive the speaker is. The social contract requires each party to bring a certain amount of mutual respect. I didn’t see them bringing it to those conversations.
I didn’t read their comments at all, I just noticed someone being the victim of obviously circular reasoning. This site has gotten very hive-mind ish lately, and comments like the one I replied to are a big part of why. People say the same thing about me, how I’m an obvious troll because I push back on the majority narrative. The impulse to just hand wave away anyone who disagrees with you gets heavily amplified here, for whatever reason.
