Maybe itâs because thereâs less comments, but itâs felt needlessly hostile. Even a small disagreement leads to this weird âwell youâre obviously a fucking idiot that has nothing worthwhile to sayâ. I didnât have that impression when I joined post API BS, but now that Iâve noticed it itâs hard to ignore. A lot of people just reading what they want to read, and drawing conclusions that donât relate to the immediate action.
The self-righteous rage and indignation is completely off the charts here, I totally agree.
Whenever a genuinely obnoxious post is upvoted multiple times, I always wonder how many of those upvotes are from the pathetic authorâs alts, and how many are from people who are just fellow assholes.
Thatâs unfortunate, because itâs the opposite of my experience. Maybe I just donât care, and/or Iâve gotten better at spotting the warning signs of trivial bullshit and then ignoring it.
The trolls feel like insecure outsiders who havenât matured enough to âgetâ Lemmy. Itâs like they know they arenât taken seriously, and want the imaginary clout they had on Reddit.
I get that, and I do my best not to feed the trolls, but it feels like theyâve been growing since I first joined. But just because I ignore it doesnât mean I donât notice it.
Iâve seen more sealioning than simple trolling. Sometimes, I canât resist replying, because Iâm not sure if theyâre genuinely seeing things differently, or just because their games annoy me.
