I mean... you're not wrong, but it's like you're breathlessly telling us about this incredible new thing you've discovered called the internet.
Do you want to talk about Livejournal? I had one.
Not that modern stuff let's talk about Geocities! 🚧
I understand the intention but it's not necessarily a platform thing. Lemmy has the same type of people, just in smaller concentrations due to it being less used.
As an example, I was called a fucking moron, a nazi and told "Fuck you" over a simple discussion over graffiti by a real gem on Lemmy. Until his participation, nobody was hostile or angry and throughout equating me with a group of people that perpetuated the holocaust because I disagreed with his stance on something so innocuous, the group mods seem to be chill with it and apparently enough people also felt my stance put me in Nazi territory because he got some upvotes.
My point only being, there are terrible people on any platform that are incapable of having a discussion without becoming the lowest common denominator and the platforms (Lemmy included) generally won't feel the need to take action. It's just part of the charm of the internet. We could just as easily create a /c/ for Lemmy stuff that shouldn't be ok but is.
"I hate Facebook"
Why Would You Say Something So Controversial Yet So Brave?
Can we not abandon facebook to be reclaimed by nature? I haven't been on that site in years
Can we see that smoking hot stamp in question?
Lemmy isn't letting me upload it for some reason, but it's this: https://lm.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstore.usps.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fbuy-stamps%2Fred-fox-stamps-S_122104%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR1Ui6EykBS3E2n0ftoVG9Hylj8r3Vzh7oK_dnfGQiBHbc9OdS99bvaN0SE&h=AT16qe653DHQhshQHPkFZVpaJYoIXezguSvYZ0YtAO08MqETl69WeevVVJlMct2n4DhuakPxMLZlEGO-WMTup1E2utcVuUaaRljwsvU_ewTVQqYIst9iLE5N6zgWW3jlyA
It's a running joke between my friends. I am in a bunch of sovereign citizen groups because they're so entertaining and crazy, and we are trying to convince them all that they need fox stamps on all their bonkers correspondence to be official, just for the laughs.
I have a couple of reasons I still use Facebook, although I don't like it at all: My brother, who lives on the other side of the country, has ASD and the only two ways I could stay in touch with him is on Quora, where he only wants to stay on-topic, or Facebook. And I'm at least an hour's drive away from most of the people I know, so it's also one of the only ways I keep in touch with them, because they apparently don't have the problem with Facebook I do.
That said, I block every ad even though I have to do it manually, and I don't join any groups, other than a couple that I just read for the comic strips, or argue with strangers. I keep my Facebook use to a minimum, essentially.
Edit: I take that back. I didn't block the ad for the build-your-own wooden hurdy-gurdy kit. How could I?
I believe it's difficult to fire things into the sun because of gravitational dynamics. It'd apparently be easier to fire Facebook into interstellar space.
I reported a meme from a prominent anti EU group a while back in which they were calling the leader of Ireland a leprechaun. Complete with a photoshop of him in a green suit and everything. Extremely racist, but apparently fine.
I'm convinced all their mods are Patriot Front.
