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?
It seems to depend on the instances & communities you interact with and often the time of day as well. There’s no Lemmy monolith so while certain general trends will occur (left leaning, english speaking, technology literate, etc) consensus will always have opposition which seems to be a good thing
There’s a few instances that one should definitely block for their sanity and to quash them seeing propaganda. I talk a fair amount about politics and it seems like around lunch time and at 5PM the neoliberals are out to bash leftists.
