Why does the culture surrounding Lemmy seem to be inherently negative and hateful? (lemm.ee)

I have accounts on various Reddit alternatives and have also had accounts on now-defunct sites. However, none have exhibited the same level of negativity as Lemmy.

Exhibit A. Calling people assholes is exactly what OP is talking about. You ramped up the negativity.

What is wrong about my comment history?

You have a tendency to get into protracted arguments that revolve almost entirely around semantics.

I didn't call them an asshole. I was evoking the asshole rule with regards to the negativity he's seeing everywhere.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

No, you called him an asshole. You're trying a song and dance to do it, but you did. That's the exact behavior that's the problem.
