I’ve noticed that there seems to be an emphasis on being extremely serious at all times, as if every single comment is a PhD dissertation being evaluated or something. There’s like this weird, subtle one upmanship about every little thing and a lot of people are very nitpicky and judgmental. It kind of takes the fun out of being on here, TBH. Or am I the only one experiencing this?
Not trying to invalidate your feelings, but I have the exact opposite takeaway from Lemmy, as it stands. I wonder what weighs into producing such confronting experiences? If you could be specific and gather examples, maybe we could discuss it in less vague terms. I’m also kinda wary of sounding too serious when asking for hard data like this, and unwittingly contributing to the statistic. shit! reel me up I’m in too deep
I’ve noticed things getting worse personally. My main complaint is that people have started being much less charitable readers… A lot of people jump to conclusions that make me think “when the hell did I say any of that?”
I’ve mostly just stopped replying at this point, no amount of clarification seems to help with these people, they’re just itching for a fight
It’s definitely a minority, but it’s got me posting a lot less
