Comment on A little rant about lemmy.ml

You mentioning the car thing is so true. Anytime you mention stuff about cars here, you’ll get the typical comment reply using it as a soapbox platform to say how cars are the devil.
The FuckCars users are some of the most toxic people on this site. It’s not even worth arguing with them.
Same thing for technology.
I had to block five tech communities because it’s nothing but “technology evil” posts and comments, and when I complain about the lack of positive feedback, they just tell me I’m ignorant to reality…which is irrelevant to me just wanting to enjoy positive tech communities…
And god forbid you mention Windows. You’ll be told you’re better off dead in no time…
I stopped hanging out in most tech communities for the same reason. Thinking of quiting a few more and a few game ones, the behaviour has started dripping in.
Why don’t you guys start a new community that suits you? I bet there’s more people that feel the same way.
As I recall, there was a split in that Reddit community about whether to migrate here. Most of them decided to stay there on the (reasonable) grounds that they wanted to reach as many people as possible with their (IMO justified) message. So presumably the ones who came here are the dogmatic ideologues who prefer hating to persuading.
thats an extremely weird assumption to make as a lemmy user

I get why people are anti cars. But those who want to take cars away from people who enjoy them and who are trying to behave responsibly just suck.
