Sometimes I find the level of bitterness on fediverse to be chilling… like holy shit some posters on here are legit wannabe murderers. And it seriously makes me question what I’m doing here.
I miss the internet being a more chill/nerdy space, but those days are long gone.
Interesting… the comment specifically says “fediverse” - but you’re not the only person who seems to assume it’s about this individual thread.
edit: Even more interesting - the overwhelming ratio of douchevotes on this comment. I seriously doubt people would insist “Boston” or “at work” means “in this thread” - but for some reason the vast majority are adamant that “fediverse” means just this thread. Anybody have an idea why that is?
That means people’s stories about being followed were “clearly triggered” by thinking someone in this thread is following them, because the comments are in this thread - which makes no sense. The thread is about having scary gut feelings, not just having them offline.
Pause and think for a second. You’re asking that person to spill tea for you in order to take notice of something in your surroundings. Kind of a weird ass thing for people to get upset at having pointed out.
I have, it’s not like they get upvoted to the top of threads though. Some of them require following usernames post history over a period of time or browsing the mod log most instances have at the bottom of the browser window
I agree, there’s a presence of bitterness and hostility in every online forum, and lemmy is no exception. That vibe makes me feel negative about the future sometimes, but you have to remember the fediverse and online forums in general are just subsets of the human race, not a good cross-section. People tend to gather around others who have similar attitudes.

What? I don’t see that being the case her. There are lots of really interesting stories you get from this kind of question

Because it’s in this thread. So clearly this thread triggered that thought. This isn’t a “what are your general issues with the fediverse”.

I read every comment ITT and I have no idea what you’re talking about.
I think they mean Lemmy as a whole: not this thread specifically.
Then go post that in a relevant thread; its just weird doing it out of the blue.
I completely agree. I’m not sure why I got downvoted for trying to clarify lol I don’t even agree with their opinion.
You got downvotes because you’re message adds cover for their stupid comment lol
Huh, I guess you could interpret my comment like that.
What are you on about?
Think for a moment. Do you really want an answer to that question?

they are asking because it is baseless. nobody here wrote anything about murdering someone else
Why would they be talking about this thread? They were answering op’s question
okay. but I haven’t ever seen anything here like what they describe, and I read lemmy a lot
I have, it’s not like they get upvoted to the top of threads though. Some of them require following usernames post history over a period of time or browsing the mod log most instances have at the bottom of the browser window
yeah, I can understand that. I guess garbage people are everywhere
Lost Lemming?
