this site is actually so mean literally all the time so im posting this here to let you know you’re not ‘too sensitive’ or something for not wanting to deal with attacks on your gender/body/intelligence for daring to exist and have fun online. the freaks that act like this are NOT the norm (they are just the loud and obnoxious minority) and it’s OK to take your time in recognizing this. <3

      Maybe you’re not using Lemmy correctly? I would suggest looking at hot, 6 hour, 12 hour, and subscribed in that order. Blocking communities that drive you crazy would also probably really benefit you.

        Oh I do. And users. And sometimes whole instances. I’ve still yet to go an entire week without getting into an argument with a troll spanning at least three hours and coming away knowing nothing I didn’t before.

            alright then, how about this: I’m tired of my feed being a 50/50 mix of memes and blatantly wrong communist propaganda

          Sorry man, that sounds like a you thing. If someone is trolling you, you commenting back is the worst thing you can do. Just state your facts (to give the counterbalance) once and then walk away. If you’re replying and explaining, they’re winning.

        pawb.social is defederated from hexbear. I’m seeing those same clowns on .world. They’re not even localized to .ml anymore.
