    A joke I didn’t understand, or a joke I didn’t find funny…?

    Jokey or not, there’s no denying that users here frequently just write off opinions as wrong if it doesn’t match theirs exactly. Whether they’re correct or not it’s not a nice place for discussion when the pervading mentality is one of superiority for a large portion of users (and yes this can be said for reddit too).

    I don’t want to support the poor practises of corporations. More than that though I don’t want to cut off my nose to spite my face, and when the feeling from the alternatives is one of non-acceptance that’s exactly what it feels like I’m doing.

    Not sure I’ll be here much longer to be honest, the world won’t be changed by people who base their personalities on being morally superior while denigrating anyone who doesn’t follow their beliefs exactly. You’ll piss people off, but you won’t change their minds, and ultimately everyone’s a loser as a result.

        Leave if you want. I really don’t care.

        I know you don’t, that’s the problem. I moderate a very small community for man united supporters which is supposed to be an alternative to reddit to discuss football. I feel like I’m contributing plenty, but if even if I wasn’t, I’m contributing more than people who actively discourage users from sticking around.

        Shouldn’t we be encouraging users to lemmy? Doesn’t it hurt the overall experience if there are fewer users and opinions? Won’t it just become an even more extreme echo chamber than reddit?

        I’m sorry that I apparently haven’t taken the post in the jokey way it was intended, but it does highlight a number of issues with the lemmy userbase, surely you can agree with that at least?

        Accusing someone of using something “straight from Reddit’s playbook” is (ironically) copy pasted straight from the lemmy playbook. I’m not accusing evrryone of anything, just pointing out the problems I see with a large portion (not all) of users.

        Anyway, I’m all about enjoying life. I enjoy it less here than I feel like I could and it seems to be very detrimental to the growth of lemmy.

        Edit: I called someone an entitled renter because they were pissed off that their friend had decided to sell their house. Is that unfair…?

            Sounds like something a redditor would say… ;)

            You’re not wasting time on a redditor though, except to go through their post history to try and find something to meme them for. Again… Seems like redditor behaviour to me :) x

        Why did you delete the example from this post bud?

        You know, the one where I called someone an “entitled renter”. I thought it was a decent example tbh, even if it WAS framed entirely out of context to make me sound like I was attacking all renters (of which I’m one).

        You know what? I’m back in, this whole discussion is exactly what I was missing. Thanks dude x

      A joke you didn’t understand. If you didn’t find it funny you would have simply scrolled past without the need to leave a comment

        A joke that highlights what I feel is wrong with lemmy, I’m really sorry for commenting though, people have taken it very seriously considering the main criticism seems to be that I’m missing the joke.

        Why not just downvote and move past my comment without feeling the need to leave a comment?

        I find it pretty funny that I point out the non acceptance in this community and lots of the reactions could be summarised moreorless as “Well then fuck you!”. Is anyone seeing the irony?
