I read some people who vent on their posts or talk about problems they face in life and the replies they get is, no you are the problem, fuck you.
On Reddit, the only thing that is close to this is when women complain about their boyfriends, they got told to leave them, whatever is her complaint about.
Any explanation?
Disclaimer: I am not talking about my own experiences here, but rather what I read in other posts, my observations could be wrong.
Reddit, Lemmy, and other Reddit-likes aren’t unidirectional blogging platforms. Primarily they’re link/image aggregators, but ever since the early introduction of comments, they’re also places for people to share their thoughts on the things people link to and write. If you want a place to vent with no expectation of honest feedback, you should be using either 1) a community (shoehorned) within the Reddit-like which is expressly moderated that way or 2) a blog or microblog.
Ironically echoing the OP: you are the problem if you make a text post on one of these platforms just to vent at people and get offended that people give feedback.
There are a whole lot of assumptions in this reply lol.
I’m not offended, but it’s a good example of people not seeking to understand what they are replying to before they add their two cents.
I understand this is what happens on the internet. It’s not possible to communicate perfectly.
