I like that when someone creates a community, It usually just becomes a diary for them being able to post what they wanna see, I think we could all be nicer to each other in these trying times
Edit: damn y’all, don’t just say the bad thing you gotta say a good thing too
If you express a non-dominant viewpoint you get downvoted and insulted and threatened. Or the mods remove your posts, even if they are thoughtful and respectful. a lot of communities here have singular default viewpoints, that are extremist in nature.
The userbase itself is preventing diversity by attacking anyone, often violently, who doesn’t agree with them. Usually under the pretense that their viewpoint is the ONLY moral/good/correct one, and any alternative viewpoint is immoral/evil/wrong and you should therefore die. they believe the world consists of mutually exclusive binary choices.
It’s incredible pathetic. They also seem to play the game that any alternative viewpoint is also an existential threat to themselves… further justifying their need for violence.
A majority of the userbase here just want to live in their victim-bully echo chambers where they are free to slander others who are different than them and perpetually cast themselves as victims of those same others. They are trapped in their self-manufactured cycles of rage and shame.
I agree with the sentiment. We’re in an echo chamber with little interest in change.
People being mean to you in a text medium isn’t violence bro
Yeah it is. Intimidation, threats, and reporting you maliciously to remove your comments are all forms of violence.
They aren’t physical violence. But emotional and psychological violence are very real.
Violence is using coercive force to get what you want. Bullying is a form of violence.
