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?

    I run a few coms so I notice the pedantic people, too. But on the whole I find most of the people I interact with to be pleasant and informative. For the rest, as long as they’re not being openly bigoted or hostile, I try to remember that I can’t tell tone from text.

    I enjoy being here. One of the reasons I chose my instance was to be able to see everything and tailor my feed to suit me, so I accept I’m going to see everything.
