Restraint

Liberals learned the word tankie from anarchists on Lemmy but they never learnt what it means so they call now call anyone unwilling to vote for the slightly less conservative but still conservative war mongerer. I don't even live in the US.
- This, I'm not even citizen of US and they tried to force me to vote, when i mentioned that i am not a citizen of USA, they blew up with "it's not for you then", who was they writing to then? Or as long as they don't know which citizenship you have, you're USA citizen by default, and subject to propaganda

Can't speak for everyone, but I have HB blocked so I don't think about them at all until someone from one of those instances comes and tries to stir the pot. I think they think more about other instances than getting thought of
- Blocking an instance is fine. But many liberals are complaining about it an every day by bringing it up without pretext in completely unrelated topics like some tick.
  
  And those two instances are different? Like I said. You're just stirring the pot

My favorite thing to do when i see someone hating on hexbear or .ml is check out the modlog to find why they're so angry and it's almost always funny

The tone of conversation on Lemmy has changed significantly lately.
- Has it? It's the same as it always is, though with the US election I guess the liberal side is getting more scratched.
  
  There are definitely bots on here stoking anger

There are other, more introspective, ways to react to widespread and ongoing negative reception.
- Technically true, though that also applies to liberals.
