Lemmy probably feels like Reddit when it first started, all warm cuddly and friendly to newcomers eager to discuss and collaborate around central topics.
I joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.

I'm sorry I was such a burden to you trying to answer your question that it warranted such a rude response.
Really, because to me you came off rude when it started coming across like this thinly veiled attempt to nitpick my choice of words.
I was explaining how and why one phrase may garner a negative reaction and assumption from some people which you continued to question, so I did my best to elaborate. And suggested another phrase that might express what you really mean better if you want to avoid having that reaction/assumption. It's up to you if you take it, it seemed you wanted to understand but got hung up on semantics of its all politics. I really didn't believe you don't actually care about any politics or that if you were aware of what's going on with why people hate tankies you would not find it important and shitty. So yeah I just tried my best but maybe as long as things don't directly impact you then it isn't worth thinking about or learning about?
I never attacked you and there was no veiled attempt or anything it all came from a place of compassion and you kept responding like you didn't understand so I did my best to explain the same point a different way while trying to address what you seemed confused about. I guess I see now you were just arguing with me. Idk maybe you are just a dick that doesn't care about other people if you don't know them. I can see now maybe your replies were arguments not a conversation.
No, you recognized there could be nuance in words and chose to nitpick anyway.
Maybe you just don't realize how condescending you came off as.
It was conversation until you condescended to me.
No, I really thought you were having trouble understanding what I was saying. Trying repeatedly to explain it in different ways is not being condescending when I really believe you didn't get it and needed more clarification.
Whatever you wanna believe though at this point I guess. I'm done. I don't like you and I think it's safe to say you don't like me.
Nah. You mentioned specifically what the different nuances for "I don't care about politics" but you chose to take me literally anyway.
