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?
It got a lot better for me after blocking a number of communities and individual users.
you really have to block entire instances if you want to massively cut down on the hate/spite fueled content that floods this space. lots of lemmy is ID politics doomerism perspectives.
and yeah if you are hateful and spite filled, you won’t see that content that way, you will see it as ‘good’.
