Memes about the Fediverse
Other relevant communities:
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.
Maybe you wouldn't see so much hostility if you weren't going around harassing people for owning horses. You get what you give.
What?
Lol oh....thank you.
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.
You make good points.
Well that wasn't very Mr Rogers of them
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).
Drawn like months we drift into the comments, the timeless old attraction, baiting for reactions
Lit up like a firefly just to have an online fight
Most of Lemmy's user base is made up of tech obsessed weirdos with an axe to grind against other social media platforms.
Of course they're going to be toxic.
Yes, this is quite true.
Although we should spare a thought to the leftists doing this for political reasons who are also weirdos. Looking at hexbear, lemmygrad, and lemmy.ml in particular.
They have too many thoughts of too low a quality already. I'm not lending them any of mine.
Why are you here then? If you find it to be toxic.
Because it's got a better app than reddit
My axe was getting a bit dull.
Careful, you might get yelled at by Sunshine for posting pictures of captive cats fighting, you absolute monster!
Thats right! Look at them, caught by their capitalist overlords and forced to work for their kibble.
Oh the humanity..
OP, what the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.
I don't see much but I also don't frequent the main news and politics forums, and avoid getting involved in arguments about the best Linux distro is (when we all know it's... nah not going there).
We all know the best one is the one you compile straight from the source and build it from scratch. Filthy casuals.
Arch, btw
Arch?
Man, your spelling is horrible. That looks nothing like mint at at
I always spelt it as Debian but who knows at this point how to spell anything correctly.
That's a funny way to spell LMDE, but we'll allow it.
Hey Emperor, I’m happy to hear your experiences have been better :)
Yes, those two topics often turn out feisty in the comments. Thats why I’m excited for Mlem’s 2.0 release where we can toggle on/off filter word lists. Sometimes I just want to chill and enjoy the positives with my fellow lemmings.
I know that feeling! When I say I like Linux and use a particular distro someone is often attempting to convince me to switch to another one hehe. But I’m like “I like my current configuration and migrating again is a lot of work”.
Go with Qubes and use all the OSs at once!
On voyager you can block communities and filter keywords from post titles (not sure if it’s a voyager setting or a lemmy one though). My first two words are “Trump” and “Elon”, it has significantly improved my viewing experience as well as some other political words.
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. [email protected] 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.

Hello sunshine. I hope you are doing well and thriving.
somehow this comment sounds the most hostile in this entire thread.
it's the "dead tone" punctuation:
Hello sunshine. I hope you are doing well and thriving.
vs.:
Hello sunshine! I hope you are doing well and thriving! <3
completely changes the tone! ;)

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
youre welcome to come deny climate change in the free speech community i started
This has not been my experience. Maybe try different communities or instances?
Cuddling and licking each other's ears.
