There are a few subreddits I check out from time to time because Lemmy doesn’t have the volume of users required to keep those niche conversations active.

Wow, what a pain! There’s so much hostility and byzantine rules. It’s just not worth it.

      If Reddit is toxic to you, then you must be one of them.

      Well that’s not very nice.

      I’m not even talking about political stuff. I’m talking about how people make all kinds of false assumptions about you and accuse you of things when you’re just trying to have a normal human conversation.

        For many people - in the USA most conservatives seem to be adopting this mindset, see e.g. Elon Musk’s vision for “X” - such forms of argumentation is not a negative, it is the point.

        Just like talking with toddlers (b/c it relates to both a capacity, and in a sense also their past choices as to how they want to live their lives, and yet at some point those choices become instantiated into their day-to-day activities to the point where the choice no longer presents itself, much like an addiction where you once chose it, but now it chooses you), your only choice is to put up with it or leave. You cannot have a “human” conversation with people who are not humane (either b/c they cannot or will not be thus, the difference arguably becomes moot when there is no functional distinction b/t them).

      Funny, I haven’t seen a single “commie” advocating for violence or racism. It’s always the republicans.

          “Commies” tend to be progressive who also tend not to be bigots. Sling your shit all you want. Common sense defies redneck logic. I forgot, you’re here for the specific communities yet here you are. Go back to TheDonald
