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?
Everyone on every social media seems hostile these days. Maybe it’s a reflection of society’s anxiety?
Lemmy is a different kind of hostile. It’s users (some of them) are hostile like redditors, not like twitter users. Though both are unbearable, I find the redditor version way more annoying. Cuz they’re sneaky about it. They do it sarcastically. Tiniest error on your part and they’ll take the opportunity to call you an idiot and degrade you. You can picture them having a smug little smile on their faces while writing comments.
You nailed it. If one doesn’t pick up on the sarcasm immediately, you’re fucking done in that thread.
