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?
I just want to have a serious conversation about stuff that matters and you just can’t do that in real life without somebody shitting their pants. I fucking love it here. I don’t need a million comments saying some dumb inside joke bullshit like on Reddit. This place seems just a lot more real. I get my comedy from the memes and I can actually talk to people about real issues and be challenged, it’s nice.
When I insist another Lemmy user “suck my sweaty ballsack”, they must know I mean it solely as a romantic gesture, and not oppositional. This is the culture fostered.
