Your indignation is probably religiously based, so you're automatically incapacitated to "look at reality objectively".
I'm not only not religious, I bill myself as pretty anti-religious. So, wrong. Trying to attack me personally with some made-up trait about me doesn't make you right just because you dislike my correction. Nice straw-man though.
Nor am I republican, nor am I against drag queens, or any other bullshit made up trait you can think of. I'm wholly for the equal treatment of all humans, regardless of ... well, practically any trait you could categorize a group of people with.
What I AM against, however - is liars and people who try to misconstrue factual information.
To me it seems that on lemmy (as it was/is in reddit) the majority of users is leaning more to one side (if not the extreme side) of the ideologies and people who try to be reasonable get quickly shut down for not fitting this or that narrative. That's sad in my opinion because all it's doing is replicating what used to be the norm on the opposite side of the spectrum and you can clearly see that most don't even notice it. For all intents and purposes they believe 100% that they are right and therefore no nuances are allowed, period. But you know, maybe the biggot is you for not accepting that last 1% of the current narrative... I feel I'm in the same boat as you though.
So many of these instances are how folks come across, some are coarse and some not so much. Active voice, authoritative tone, and missing the vibe can really impact perception. Of course reality is highly nuanced, but low stake comment sections often aren't. Just my 2c.
