    Because lemmy is much smaller, you tend to rub into the same users more often. So if someone comes off as abrasive, blocking them can have a notable impact on your experience.

    Dogpiling is worse, and it can pay to know what instance the community you’re posting in is, as the games community on hexbear is going to be different than on world.

    It’s much more “left” than reddit. Notably, while this instance, lemmy.ml, is the flagship instance run by the lead dev, the “ml” stands for marxist-leninist.

            You are rather quick to assume I am one of the “pro-genocide people”.

            Oh, I’m not assuming.

            I try not to “both-sides”

            "I try to not both-sides this, please ignore that I just did and am about to do so again.

            I was trying (poorly) to show that the same standard was not being applied equally.

            “Don’t you mean all lives matter?”

            pretty emotional topic.

            It be an emotional topic usually makes people more sympathetic towards the victims of genocide, not more inclined to start going “but what about both sides!”

            Anyway, good luck fighting against everyone until they agree with you.

            Go back to reddit, you insufferable loser.

              Do people not realize that the modlog is public, with their asses hanging out there?

              ETA: Oh, I see you’ve already covered this upthread 😂

        Didn’t take long to get banned for my radical opinion that all forms of Us-vs-Them tribalism are dehumanizing.

        it’s always the pro-genocide people acting so injured on when the vile stuff they say gets a negative response
