Mostly because of all the fucking Tankies and both-sides-bad centrists they promote and enable.
Corporate mostly doesn’t give a fuck (well lately they do but I never had Elon Musk or Zuckerberg break into every other comment section and start flaming nonprofit childrens hospitals and puppies), but the CCP troll farms and bot networks have an agenda.
Tankies shit on people whilst simultaneously calling it deprogramming which is hilarious because you’re doing the opposite, you’re making people less likely to be sympathetic by being hostile
I sometimes wonder if it’s somehow a convoluted western reverse-psyop to turn people against radical ideologies by introducing them to bad actors and pissing them off.
Then I remember how extremely effective their propaganda has been for them so far and dismiss that thought.
As long as you never say anything even remotely political or controversial, you are fine.
But that comes at a cost of self expression. Conform or be cast out (blocked).
While I think Lemmy is great, I feel like there’s way more nitpicking about things and that I have felt more targeted here sometimes for differing in opinion on topics. On Reddit I don’t often run into the same person twice after having a disagreement unless it’s a subreddit I regularly visit. I just hope we could have more positive interactions in the future. !taneggs@lemmy.ca is great for that.
I’m really excited for more mature moderation tools to facilitate a kinder atmosphere in the future.

NGL, I feel like there’s a higher concentration of people on the spectrum on here that might contribute to this.
Game knows game.

I think it just results in more bans and blocking, instead of feeling picked on you’ll just be banned, at least on far left instances/areas.
I got banned on Mastodon for ‘climate change denialism’ which I thought was hilarious considering I have likely spent more money and more of my time to be climate positive than the person who banned me and the people outraged by what I said combined
But they wanted to be hyped up by a garbage doomer article and by me arguing that the article was doomer bs and bad maths triggered them

Just linking some more wholesome communities
I love the nitpicking! It’s hard to convince someone of something that they didn’t conceive “themselves.” Utilizing a superiority complex while playing the jester never gets old.
*note sometimes I am just dumb
Are we really human if we don’t have nitpicking and drama?
We have a thousands of years old translated clay tablet… shitting on a copper merchant after all haha
Maybe you wouldn’t see so much hostility if you weren’t going around harassing people for owning horses. You get what you give.
Would be nice if people would just ignore true shit posting. After reading that dumpster fire, here’s an idea for people who absolutely cannot let it go. Write what you’re going to say in the box, then think for a moment what you are going to accomplish responding to an obviously miserable person, then click cancel, downvote, and move on.
The only thing you accomplish arguing with shit heads on the internet is accumulating cortisol from fight or flight response, being pissed off the rest of the day, and have accomplished NOTHING even if you “win” the argument.
