MODERATORS
Honestly I don't see all this hade and intolerance here on lemmy.world and i've been around since last year. Can you give me some context?
Actual context because the other comment (e: the prettybunnys one) is clearly showing some bias:
!politicalmemes@lemmy.world is constantly in turmoil against itself regarding some US electoral stuff. About once per thread (no joke) an argument gets to a point where one person accuses the other of not being human because they just can't fathom how different their positions are. This also spreads to other communities but I generally find !politicalmemes to be the primary source. (e: This also is common on .ml communities unless I am mistaken. I just am not exposed to that much since my instance does not federate with .ml.)
(Disclaimer: while funny, don't do this kind of attack without real evidence; it's generally frowned on by mods as uncivil.)
Politics turns nice people into assholes real quick.
Truly. Especially on platforms where we can't see each other's faces to remind each other we exist and might or might not have had coffee this morning.
Not denying there are bots on here of course, there definitely are, just quite a few less than the average edgy political swearing session would lead you to believe.
Really? That is kind of pleasing to hear to be honest. I only ever encountered echochamber comments any of the times I went on any political thread here, one sided anchoring and confirmation bias, so I stopped. I'm kind of happy to hear that there are multiple perspectives being discussed at all. Neat.
Things can get heated in certain threads.
Mostly your thread and threads made as a reaction to your threads
It's pretty much limited to the Political and Israel/Palestine related subs IMO.
Context:
People with overt bias and deliberate messaging are being called out for it.
Those people make posts like this.
had to scroll quite a bit to find this perspective. I’m on politics all the time, there really are a handful of “bad actors” who follow a clear agenda. yet I’ve never seen this “ur bot” response just thrown around haphazardly, rather directed at that very same handful of disingenuous propaganda posters.
