Don’t let it get to you. Honestly, I say this all the time, and I’ll say it again, once lemmy starts making you feel THAT type of way? That type of way that kinda gets under your skin?

That’s when I put lemmy down and don’t open it for a little while. I can not… use lemmy if I’m not taking breaks from it. Lemmy is just too political, and so are most of the users.

Something I remind myself, just from experience being here, is that most if not all lemmy users, do not want their minds to be changed or their views challenged. If you think about it, that’s why they’re all here.

Political tribalism and extremism is never fun. It bums me out too sometimes bc I just want to have fun here and make new friends. But, I’ve come to the realization a while ago, not to engage with political stuff here. It’s just something I can not do. It’ll drain you. At least it does for me and I use social media for fun so I do my best to stay away from those topics.

You’re not a troll. I know that so do other ppl. Some users are only calling you that to purposefully be rude and hurtful bc they’d never say something like that to anyone’s face. They can be visceral, but that doesn’t mean what they’re saying is true or holds any weight.

We appreciate your contributions on HC. It takes time and effort to post and can feel thankless at times I understand that. But I want you to know you are seen and appreciated.

Haters gunna hate. Let them, don’t give them the time of day. I hope you feel better ok ♥️
