A little maybe, but not much.
I’ve seen people say they left reddit to join Lemmy because of the toxic users. To each their own, but I personally think Lemmings aren’t much better. Some people over here can’t understand that sensitive questions can be asked without bad intent. People are way too defensive about their opinions.
It is disappointing, but it’s the better option.
My favorite is if you fight back them they just tell you that you’re lying and wrong and they know the TRUTH. And you are an ignorant fool who supports fascism and pedophilia if you disagree with their stupid and awful takes.
It’s like arguing with a toddler equipped with buzzwords they think make them win by default.
It’s crazy how I immediately knew you were the problem here just by how you wrote that screed out.
It’s ok. I block people from dbzer0 frequently, because all your users are massive hypocrites who see the world through a weirdly exaggerated and distorted lens. Someone explained to me awhile ago that you’re all wannabe fascists who cosplay as anarchists so you can feel ‘not like the other fascists’ and it made total sense given the takes that come from your users.
like calling three sentences a ‘screed’.
Yeesh! Lmao.
When you say shit like “I can’t walk down the street without being bombarded by trans flags or talk to people without them mentioning trans rights” and “LGBTQ+ people are 100% pro harassment” you will rightfully be called out and shouted down for the hateful shit you spew on Lemmy.
I’m anti being a hateful asshole. But that makes me a hateful asshole in the views of LGBT extremists online, and IRL sometimes, because you think the world is a binary of ‘for me, or against me’. And what you fail to get is that most folks, simple don’t give a fuck about it, and that’s fine.
Lots of LGBT+ people are assholes dude. If you think they aren’t you are just deluding yourself and you’re probably one of the LGBT+ assholes who thinks their ‘views’ mean they are justified in being hateful and harassing others, because you know, some people do it against you. And if you think anyone who calls out LGBT+ activists for their extremist and zealotry, is anti-LGBT, yes you are one of those same hateful LGBT+ assholes.
I’ve been over to blahj. Huge amount of their comment is just rage bait and hate bait. It’s not activism, it’s an echo chamber.
Ironically, if you said “I can’t wait down the street without being bombarded by Trump flags” I don’t think you’d consider that a hateful comment, right? It’s almost as if… having grandstanding political nonsense being shoved in your face is fucking weird and off-putting to people who don’t spend every waking moment agonizing about it.
But yes, please continue to lecture me how awful I am for not being on your side. Just like people on Trump’s side think I’m a pro-trans homo queerio for not being on theirs. It’s almost as if I want nothing to do with either of your extremist camps that are largely populated by people with massive victim complexes who only find joy by being miserable sacks of shit because they refuse to take responsibility for their own lives… who only see the world in binaries.
me when I am “harassed” by people talking about their right to live like any other citizen
this is you, this is how you sound to any queer person, I hope you have a beautiful day!
