All the fuckin normies on lemmy.world. No piracy, no politics, no fun.
look at the responses in other fediverse instances; the no piracy, no politics, no fun crowd is the majority
No. A loud and opinionated minority does not a majority make. Most people aren't insufferable on the internet, it's just that those are the easiest ones to spot and the hardest ones to avoid.
See for example: the amount of American libertarians who "bow to nobody and never stop fighting for their freedom and independence" in online discussions vs the amount of people who vote for the US Libertarian Party rather than the GOP.
