this site is actually so mean literally all the time so im posting this here to let you know you’re not ‘too sensitive’ or something for not wanting to deal with attacks on your gender/body/intelligence for daring to exist and have fun online. the freaks that act like this are NOT the norm (they are just the loud and obnoxious minority) and it’s OK to take your time in recognizing this. <3
I have a blocklist of 35 people and this site has gotten way more positive and nice. It’s sad that it’s come to blocking so many people though.
All it takes is one arsehole in a nice thread to start insulting people and the whole thread often crumbles into a negative shitshow.
my blocklist grew to like over 80 then i was like, damn shawty do you actually like being here?, then i left 😅
Your instance has a good head start on me by blocking ML. A third of my blocklist is from said instance 😂.
I act with complete silliness and tomfoolery. Some people hate that and get angry at me, ofc im too busy hugging my Blahaj to care :3
Lemmy has a serious “I’m 14 and very badass” problem. Take the tone way down y’all. You wouldn’t act like this in the real world.
The internet has that problem, but Lemmy is the best at combating that stuff I’ve seen so far.
lemmy is an order of magnitude worse than reddit tf you talking about
Maybe you’re not using Lemmy correctly? I would suggest looking at hot, 6 hour, 12 hour, and subscribed in that order. Blocking communities that drive you crazy would also probably really benefit you.

Oh I do. And users. And sometimes whole instances. I’ve still yet to go an entire week without getting into an argument with a troll spanning at least three hours and coming away knowing nothing I didn’t before.
… you see where the problem here lies, right?.. you engage.
alright then, how about this: I’m tired of my feed being a 50/50 mix of memes and blatantly wrong communist propaganda
