I’m trying to keep my disagreements and discourse that way as much as I can in my own responses. What we don’t have in completeness of software, we (hopefully) have in community and heart.

jackoneill@lemmy.world 9 months agoI was always a lurker on reddit because every time I spoke my mind I would get silenced/banned/whatever. Literally every time I ever tried to say anything that wasn’t 100% in lockstep with the hive mind, shut down, so I stopped bothering. So far Lemmy has been great in that regard!

The thing is, it made for some hilarious trolling opportunities.
And occasionally you’d find someone also going against the hivemind that shared your views

Curious me here, how would you troll?

For example, in the r/newzealand Reddit which is full of bleeding heart social justice warrior lefties, I would post comments in support of one of our minor parties that sits more centre-right on the spectrum.
That really riles them up, I get a heap of downvotes but also a couple of supportive comments from the 2% of other people on that sub that dare have a different opinion from the hivemind
