I’ve noticed that there seems to be an emphasis on being extremely serious at all times, as if every single comment is a PhD dissertation being evaluated or something. There’s like this weird, subtle one upmanship about every little thing and a lot of people are very nitpicky and judgmental. It kind of takes the fun out of being on here, TBH. Or am I the only one experiencing this?
That’s a pretty interesting description.
It feels like a pretty smart place, but at the same time the “why did you join Lemmy” posts get a lot of responses about being permabanned from all of Reddit, which is hard to do. So, maybe you’re on to something.
If it’s 80% those people, it’s unexpectedly tolerable, and that says a lot about the environment influencing people’s behavior.
It’s actually really easy to get permabanned from reddit. Quoting Charlie Kirk will do it. Quoting the president will do it. Posting videos of elons nazi salute will do it.
