Sounds like a trauma response. Walk on eggshells and lash out to try to grasp at stable ground.
No offense, and I don't mean to be in conflict with you. I'm just wanting to be sure you know I'm not attempting to lash out at you by responding to your comment. I'm not trying to be smarmy or snarky or sarcastic. I just maybe, kinda, feel like, if it's possible to do so without offending or baiting or trolling, I disagree. Sorry to use such harsh tones and you're 100% entitled to your opinion and I get it I'm a total jerk so please don't be angry or report me.
The modern version of the ballad of billy john.
What we've all become a decade later.
What makes me laugh is that Shitpost is supposed to be a haven away from everyday bullshit. A few jokes a few laughs. Why do people have an issue with that? If every joke MUST conform to your life view then I don't think you have much of a sense of humor. And therefore I don't think this group is for you. Everyday there is stuff here that I personally don't find very funny, but most of it I do, and so be it. I don't downvote it, I don't make a negative comment about, and of course I don't "report" it.
why bother tho
If it does not bother to you, even though I know you already expressed how you feel, I would like to give you a response but I don't want it to feel like you need to respond or that I am even arguing. I'll just not respond, if it would be too much trouble for me to say what I want to say, if you feel thats ok?
Edit: I edited this post, everyone, because I stupidly used poor grammar because I don't proof read and I know it's really bad of me. I'm very sorry and please don't let my carelessness offend you or make you upset. I was 100% wrong and am now trying to correct it.
If you can see, and you dont have to look, I put an 'a' between not and bother and that was a typo. I was not intentionally trying to mess up I'm just sometimes careless and that can offend people so please don't be offended.
This is not a meme. /s
Hey don't be so anxious, its alright!
just block annoying people, then they can't bug you any more. it'll also help to block tankie instances.
You're fine, every scold in the fediverse is nothing compared to the Reddit crowd.
My question
is the percentage equal with reddit obviously having higher total numbers or is the percentage actually significantly lower on Lemmy?
I have no special knowledge here, but my hunch is that it's more to do with for one thing is a smaller neighbourhood, but also there's no account karma making you feel better than others. Also, many of us use a frontend that allows tagging, so it's easy to remember people by a specific reputation.
There's no benefit to discarding people the second they fail to please you because you'll just make the whole thing unusably empty, so there's more of a tendency to act like everyone's just people. There are still Reddit-like behaviours, but it's far more human.
that was a thoughtful and accurate explanation.
And right to your point, I was a frequent contributor to another NON POLITICAL lemmy group. Over a few months I was being attacked. I guess my neutral attitude offended those who insist that they and only they have the right answers for everyone. Bottom line I just left the group and continues to shrink in views, posts, and comments.
I tag people if I have a problem with them. If I see them being cool in other contexts I change the tag, but if I see them consistently being ungroovy I just block em. Now I mostly don't see anyone being vile, after two years.
You've only got to worry about maybe 5% of people. Most folks are good, and if you can avoid the rest it's a good world we've got.
Still can't figure out how to tag users while using laptop
I don't think the site offers that functionality, mainly you get that from frontends like boost or connect.
