That’s the same as going “but I like cheeseburgers” in a vegan comm.
No not really. Often what I’m talking about is someone asking why everyone hates Gabe then any explanation short of “he’s billionaire scum” is offensive to the types of users who make this place less pleasant. Nothing about Lemmy is inherently supposed to be raging zealots. Leftists can and should be civil and measured in the way they apply their ideas to society. Even if one personally thinks some ultra socialist world is the only acceptable one, it doesn’t help anyone to go around acting like everyone has to think just the same that regard.
I think we’re conflating some adjacent things here. There’s a good amount of people I can see in here calmly explaining the “he’s billionaire and that’s bad” angle which are all around Lemmy. Hence the quoted, although admittedly poor analogy. No problem blocking or muting the separate zealots as you mentioned before. I do it all the time. Unfortunately those you’re referring view those type of “civil” leftist as also the enemy. Its why I block some of the instances I do.
Right well the only issue I have with the calm people would be if there’s like 5 of them all saying exactly the same thing. Definitely more focused on the ragers in my comments here
