Honestly lemmy has been more and more welcoming about this kind of shit and it's actually pissing me off considering this is supposed to be an intellectual leftist space.
I left reddit because of this kind of "oH wElL eVeRyOnEs DoInG iT" shit.
It's just like the self censored memes people keep posting that get a thousand upvotes. The fact that people here are upvoting this shit shows me lemmy is just as full of self righteous fuckwits as any other social media at this point.
Whether it's all bots or not I'm losing faith in this platform and that says a lot because I still regularly scroll through TikTok.
I dunno if I've just been unlucky, but I've mostly run into jerks on this platform the last week or so. Reasonable people are the exception, I get just awful replies on most comments, it's really strange. Everyone seems to have a bee in their bonnet. I deleted my Reddit account because every day was people just being toxic at any opportunity, and the same thing is happening here too. My block list is getting pretty long. Makes me wonder if all social media is just inherently an awful place to be.
Social media does indeed suck, but there are people on it who don't. I hope you find some of them too.
