i foud out about this place a few days ago… upon arriving i saw some misinformation spreading around. I called dit out and the response has been bullying name calling and being told to leave he site. is this what lemmy is?
Just wanna check before I go…
Of course one single terrible interaction with one person of a group of people immediately means that the whole group is completely terrible.
So yes, you should leave while you can, try to get far far away from us homogeneous Lemmings ;)
Check their comments, they had a pretty bad run-in with the .ml-crowd. You know, stating controversial opinions on a US-politics community. Never a great idea.
The vast majority of the comments were not only negative, but attacking.
I didn’t see a single supporting comment, or someone messaging me condemning that bullying behaviour. It was 90% +.
On news subs. Worrying.
You should reevaluate if you think disagreement is bullying. Disagreement feels like bullying because being wrong is one of the worst things that could happen to our psyche. Because people on the “wrong side” were often attacked and killed throughout history. But in a more enlightened culture, that we’re trying to rationally work towards, being wrong and people disagreeing should and needs to be fine. It still feels unpleasant of course, but disagreement and hostile behavior needs to be distinguished.
