  The “positive anymore” is a bane on the English language. Cut that Midwest bullshit out.

  There’s a lot of right and fash lemmy communities you can join. Maybe your lemmy instance have them blocked.

    And you call them fascist, so i see where your view lies. You’re still proving my point

  1. Go to place where people express ideas and opinions
  2. Become offended by those ideas and opinions
  3. Spread rhetoric against those popular ideas and opinions
  4. Become even more offended because people don’t agree with my ideas or opinions
  5. Pretend I’m a cyber warrior fighting it back against some amorphous oppressive regime with “radical ideas and opinions” that differ from my own
  6. Get absolutely downvoted to Oblivion
  7. Cry and pee pants
  8. Make post about how place where people express ideas and opinions aren’t the same ideas and opinions that I have and I’m mad about it
  9. Cry some more in the comments about how everyone’s a big ol’ meanie for not agreeing with my ideals and opinions
  10. Rinse and repeat

      Literally anytime. Day or night. You just give me a call and I’ll put things into perspective for you because I know you have a difficulty doing it yourself.

  If you don’t like this site, why not go on twitter or reddit? Or heck truth social may be more what you’re looking for. Hell, you could even make your own Lemmy instance for you!

  I’m not sure what your goals are other than catharsis here.

  Same as reddit, you just assume their viewing is 100% correct and prove yourself in their eyes. Otherwise you’re dumb to some random loser with opinions on facts they didn’t research. I agree the bias is heavy and the discourse is like arguing with children.😞

  • Some fucking line breaks would considerably help your point be easier to read. Right now it comes across as a crazy screed.

  • You’re complaining to a void that doesn’t want to hear you or care, and this is definitively not the right community to post this in. There are various rant, off my chest, and unpopular opinion communities. This is a stretch for a community meant for meta discussion about your specific instance.

  • Lemmy was never meant to be free speech specifically, or accepting of all opinions. Just more open than Reddit, and with the ability for people to host their own spaces if their opinions were being suppressed by other instances. There was no goal for every instance to be open to every point of view. Lemmy’s lead dev, Dessalines, is a transphobic “hard tankie” marxist leninist, who runs the Marxist Leninist instance lemmy.ml.

  • You will find this kind of “suppression”/“bullying”/“negative responses to out-group ideas and thinking” everywhere online. Especially in spaces set up like Lemmy/Reddit/HackerNews etc with voting effecting content visibility. It is inherent to the design. Even on sites without this format, like 4chan, you still see this sort of behavior. Best get used to it.

  • Also, from personal experience, just block communities and users that are assholes. The Fediverse has a low enough count of daily active users that blocking actually makes a difference in the content and viewpoints you encounter.

  • Lastly, there are right wing lemmy instances. They tend to be filled with actual nazis and pedophiles, which is why no instances will federate with them.

  Spoiler: I agree that calling Jan 6 an attempted coup is a stretch. The most heavily armed group in the US tried to overthrow the government and there was minimal firearm based violence?

  That said, none of the chucklefucks that broke into buildings deserve any sort of pardon. They broke the law fair and simple. Feelings of righteousness don’t change that. Only coordinated legal and political effort does.

      Sorry, just so I understand your responses to people here, are you saying this is a good example of someone trying to “bash and destroy you emotionally”?

      Understand that this is not a rebuttal. You are using the paradox of intolerance to try to justify your position.

      Yes, as someone pointed out, the purity tests and echo chambers can be a problem, but when you’re up against a world-wide rise in fascism, saying “we absolutely must fix this problem first” is too close to saying “I’m ok with some fascism, as long as my feelings aren’t hurt.”

  ‘you’re right to exist in anyway you find fitting’ there must surely be some caveats here. ‘and that applies to every one american’ what about the rest of the world and other sovereign nations?

  but i agree with you, yes it is very depressing and frustrating that every corner of the internet is being cornered into purity-testing echo chambers. understanding this might lead you to questions like: who benefits from this outcome?

  anyway, i appreciate the work that went into this rant-- its a journey and i hope it was cathartic

  for what its worth, i eat mostly downvotes and i am stronger for it. show your strength by keeping your head up and maintaining composure

  • EABOD25@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    No caveat. Just observations that I am pointing out. And I’m from US where there are some significant social and political issues going on that I’d like to address. If you are from another country and you feel other social issues need to be addresses depending on your country and region, then do what I did. More voices on a single issue is more ears hearing about the issue

    source

    • fallowseed@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      by caveat i mean: there must be situations where your existence might become an existential threat to another’s - in which case it is not so simple as an absolute. we put the cart in front of the horse by relying on ideologies handed to us without scrutinizing them… speak up, yes- but that’s what your opponents are doing when they vehemently disagree with you… hedge these outcomes by knowing better the complexities that underly your claims. godspeed

    Don’t know. However all I can offer is my 2 cents on how it is now

    source
• vxx@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Yes, it is. People getting radicalised left and right, and I think it’s by design. It’s possible were supposed to be pitted against each other so the wannabe autocrats get their civil war they try to force on us for years now with their rethoric and actions.

  It’s possible this anger turns against them instead.
