Lemmy has made me hate people more than any other social media platform.

Truly a pretty terrible place for any kind of social activity.
People here are super self righteous and unwavering in their beliefs, quick to insult others and be generally bitchy, pedantic and quick to dogpile. Worst of all while still usually slightly wrong about a thing, but unwilling to hear it.
It's basically the worst parts of reddit users where we have boiled it down to the most affluent or socially insecure.
Even if it's as simple as a question people jump to defend their position with insults rather than answer it cause they get worried the person might be confused and it's best to just make sure it's a closed community as quick as possible.
This isn't an open community it's a private gated one where everyone jumped the fence and is scared that the wrong person might have come in with them.
Condescending is not welcoming.
Upvoting cause they are your in group isn't community.
Berating outcasts cause you at least don't feel like them is still bullying.
You're viewing a single thread.
Violent agreement
had an account on another server banned for saying this.
Everyone here is very disagreeable. .
.world is by far the worst for ignorant shitheads.
I’m not excluding myself , but I put opinions from a different perspective and just get slaughtered.
This is my 4 account
This is my 4 account
If it's on 4 different instances, that's a bit concerning tbh
Wait a second aren't you "blaze" on like every instance?
I have probably an account on all of the top 20 instances. The main 4 I use at the moments are in my bio. The rest I use when I want to start a new community and federate it to the top instances
Edit: got your question due to context: I never got banned, which seems to be the case for the commenter above.
Ah good clarification
I clash a lot with all the terrorist simps & dictator loving Tankies, which certainly turns into idiotic arguments most of the time, but I don't think I've ever managed to get banned from a server, which really makes me wonder what those "opinions from a different perspective" are. I'm guessing Trumpanzee's and other far right goons will have an especially hard time on here.
pious centrism, where you are unable to stop yourself from casually slurring the political left and political right wont get you banned in your heroic clashes, but it does mean you come across as a bit of a twat.
In fact, my perspective is that I’m quite old and in not America, which is by no means unique but it does make me an outlier to the demographic. Hope that clears things up
Everyone feels apparently a deep seated need to be right and defend their idea of the world as if we might steal away their fantasy and make them miserable for it.
If they have an opinion on it than they are already right and anyone coming in to talk to them about it is a dangerous outsider.
Everyone is xenophobic and everyone is the other. Maybe it's not just here but man is it pretty bad here and on .world.
The most vocal use this place for escapism and don't want reality to barge into a place they designated as "safe" because it will mean their ideas and desires won't have a place to tolerate or even promote them.
It is partly this type of disconnection and despair that drives their aggression.
