as the ideal situation is that everyone can be nice and not nasty when someone has a different opinion

Which is how I THOUGHT Lemmy would be when I signed up. It’s definitely not that way. I still love Lemmy, but oy, the user base here do not like opinions that go against the norm/majority. They like, seek revenge. Follow you around to downvote comments, etc. It’s crazy.

Totally agree! That’s how things should be. Admins, please make this change.

Great post!

Yep, I noticed that too, OP. And when I point it out, they claim I’m crying victim or that I have “main character syndrome” or that I am sealioning.

But you’re not alone. Other people notice this just like you do.

Exactly! lol

It never happens. I remember how so many people said they were gonna leave Reddit with the API nonsense. Annnnddd they’re still there. lol

I thought it already was, until I saw your post.

Yep, sooo glad I left Reddit for good. Haven’t been back at all since I quit and came to Lemmy.

Amen!

I already get accused of being a bot daily because I post stuff that people don’t like. Lemmy is gonna get real interesting as it grows. lol

Yep! Very sus.

I feel the same way.

Create one, friend! It’ll start off slow, but it may build up.

It has been for a long time.

Same reasons that ad tiers are gaining a foothold in streaming services like Netflix. The consumer has shown they are fine with it.

Yep, I remember when Netlfix first put it out there that they would start with the ads, and everyone on reddit was like, “Canceling my Netflix right now!!”

Netflix is doing just fine without the 5 redditors who actually did cancel it. lmao

Totally agree!

Great post. Thank you for this insight!

And he was right!

Ahhh, the good ole days

Change will only ever come from the workers organizing together from the ground up,

Amen, brother.
