Yeah and you can also get backlash for it. You aren’t immune to it.
Until you block everyone and then you will just miss them talking behind your back you still have to deal with responses to your actions.

You are being a jerk. So block me too. Cause I won’t block you but I will call you out for being a jerk as I see it.

Filter me too. I don’t want arrogant pricks to think they they can have only the conversation they want off of others work.

While humanity can be incredible and beautiful to look at from a distance…
Humans, tend to fucking suck.

I’m still confused

What?

I know when I say something inflammatory the response I will get, but I don’t let it stop me from changing my view, and I intend to converse to further share and understand information.

I’m an asshole, not a hypocrite.

I do like the idea of a map.

We have colonized the Internet it’s probably about time we start making a map for those that follow.

While not necessarily about the upvotes I find the users here are still very much about being _Right_™ or trying to be the most liked and therefore the most conformed to their community.

The updoots may not matter but people for sure act like they do or want them to.

Literally in this thread is another person calling it too left and another calling it too right.
You notice the things you don’t like more. Political ideology is always going to have a spread the problem is the argumentative user base and user self superiority.

Then I guess make sure you don’t talk to yourself.

A lot of users here prefer a desktop environment that’s only command line.

Apparently wanting even a GUI puts you in a minority on Lemmy.

Ah Lemmy. Still full of comments from smug assholes pretending their lack of sonder is the good kind, and if they don’t understand something it’s cause it’s worthless and pointless while their knowledge is the most important.

Yeah, there are other reasons than the UX/UI and the screenshot even shows it.

Who is we? Lots of places do communal bath houses. Japan has an entire industry around it. Mass transit is also highly prevalent.

Yes there will always be some level of individual desire to do things or need in some cases but communal projects are useful and common I don’t get the dismissal of that for energy creation something we long ago figured out was better to be done at scale and distributed after.

This is neoliberalism and treating it like it’s the only way to exist. It’s a failure of consideration or imagination. Either way your take is not right for that.

Hell yeah. I do Thursdays and man people remember to come to me on Thursday.

Yeah this does prove a failing point for the fediverse that is an important part of larger adoption. This still mostly exists in large part by communal effort even if the community doesn’t appreciate it or recognize it

Those are just reasonable people and I have never met one that has been rich that way through frugality alone and anywhere near the level of wealth of those that aim to show it off even if the frugal person’s bank account is far more in the green than the consumerist.

Martini glasses:

Art deco French cocktail ware from the 1920s designed to be dumb but bold and it’s ease of breaking showed a wealth during a terrible time.

Wealthy people love to break their stuff almost on purpose to make sure it stays special and then regular people buy into it

Yeah I try not to block since it lets people still comment on your stuff unheeded and without response but it is far better for mental health to just block and not deal with it. They do not handle conversation well and a lot of the louder Lemmings view conversations as a winner takes all brawl for superiority through mob support of upvotes.

Just so you know FlyingSquid is also one of the largest posters on lemmy.world and you may see less if you stick to .world communities.

FlyingSquid will never be wrong and if you keep going they turn to emotional manipulation and abuse with threatening suicide and making horrible statements about their life in order to drag you to sympathize for them after they have been rude and unsympathetic to you.

I don’t think they are a bot but I think they are one of the worst people to discuss with on the platform for their own personal reasons.

The mods on Lemmy are not good. They help incite shouting matches at different communities for fun including ones that have the developers for Lemmy itself, let basic bait for profiling others exist because they proclaim to let the other side speak up if they wanted to after bashing them down.
They will turn around and unironically claim to be just janitors with no power while ignoring the very position of mod gives them a lead role in how discussions are held.

Lemmy is just 4chan for neo liberals and the mods act like it.
