IMO it has to do with people needing validation online. The more people that agree with them, the more they think that their way of thinking is right and just. They then shift to communities and people that don’t point out the fallacies in their views which is colloquially called an “echochamber”. Then it just snowballs into this sort of subculture or tribe that foams at the mouth any time someone comes along with a different opinion which creates overly dramatic situations like this that would never occur in the real world, but people like to put their internet armor on and draw their ego swords thinking their entire way of life is being threatened because someone says something like “Why are you so agressive to these other people?”
I think they listed the ages because taking your comment at face value, it makes it seem like those communities were made recently, where it’s not that, it’s just they never took off
The number of people who think it’s faster or easier to post an angry comment than block a community is far too high.
Your comment showed up in my feed today how dare you even consider posting an opinion that’s different than mine AND clutter my feed! /hardJ

This drama has spread through at least 5 communities that I’m aware of so far. It’s not just one.
Should be
Sure, those, and the other two 196 communities we now have.
Thank you for listing their ages, I guess?

Thanks for explaining, I can see how it comes off that way. Please ignore it, since it’s not relevant to my actual point.
Indeed, thank you.
I don’t think expressing frustration was about efficiency
