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?

    Jesus…

    You don’t realize you’re the problem in that thread?

    They said they were don’t responding to them, and you accused them of harassing them for replying?

    Why reply again to prolong it?

    Even if you didn’t block them, you could have just not responded. But you did, and then just keep insulting them with someone else.

    Just, I’ve never seen a bigger example of a problem blaming everything else for a problem existing.

      Dude was being a toddler in an adult discussion and got called out for it because it’s just as annoying as it would be in meatspace… some people have trouble understanding basics like that so we try to help.

      Wait, you’re blaming someone for telling the obviously sexist dude to leave the women’s only community, when the guy keeps responding with more sexist bullshit?

      edit: And now you’ve banned Velma from your community for disagreeing with you here. I’ve never seen a better example of a problem with lemmy.

        Yeah givesomefucks is one of the worst offenders of stereotypical reddit mod bullshit, dude is literally what this post is talking about. Pretty sure he uses sock puppets too because all his dumbass takes have a similar number of upvotes and all the people he argues with have a similar number of downvotes.

        Petty mods are not specific to Reddit unfortunately.

        I’m somehow both a troll and too sincere to participate. So fucking petty.

          Forgive me for stalking, I saw you got banned and had to get to the bottom of it. I’m not surprised but I am disappointed.

            It’s actually a relief that you saw it as well. Makes me feel not so crazy for being targeted like that!

                My outspoken nature draws the ire of immature men unfortunately.

                Thank you for noticing <3

                  One thing I kind of hate is the abuse of the voting system, I kind of miss slashdot for its enforcement of a justified moderation for voting on a comment.

                  So it’s annoying, but sometimes I just go around counteracting user-targeted revenge downvotes, even if I don’t totally agree with the comment. It feels like being the janitor.

              Yeah because if I remember, the comments they removed weren’t bad at all. You’re not crazy, some people are just so damn fragile.

      You didn’t read further up in that thread, did you?

      He had been asked politely several times to read the rules of the community and he threw a fit and name-called instead.

      That community is women only.

      No, I don’t think I need to shut up in the face of men forcing themselves into spaces where they are not wanted.

      Hahahaha considering how many communities you have been banned from, I really really don’t need to give your opinion weight here.
