MODERATORS
I want to like this place.
People seem too aggressive here though.
And apparently everyone's hobby is using Linux and neurodiverging.
it was nice while it lasted, which was until loud conservatives and ""libertarians"" started flooding in a few months later
i was even fine with the tankies, but the alt-right kit 'n caboodle is just too much
Sometimes it does seem like everyone’s on a soapbox or cynical crusade about some shit or another and you’re a bad person if you don’t know or care.
Lots of places on Reddit and Twitter also feel that way. I think it’s just an inherent part of mass online interaction.
HEY FELLOW HUMAN, MAYBE YOU NEED TO JUST EMBRACE THE ODDITIES OF THE INTERNET AND JOIN THE PACK. RARELY DO PACK MEMBERS TALK ABOUT COMPUTERS OR BRAINS!
SERIOUSLY, IT'S BEST PLACE ON THE INTERNET
(ANY SIBLINGS OUT THERE THAT CAN LINK THIS FEDIVERSE STYLE?)

I simply block communities I’ll never engage with. For instance, the “all” view on Lemmy is chock full of trans community content. Nothing against trans folks, I just don’t care about it, and would similarly block a boating community that was all over the default view.
Reddit has been crazy aggressive lately, especially on front page posts. I got tempted to look at it, and now I'm not even tempted anymore.
