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?

    then the ‘concerned’ people start invading it and want to sanitize it so that it’s ‘inviting’ to non-enthusiasts and they start policing everyone the way they police themselves. And their primary concern is not the idea or hobby, but it’s presentation being as ‘acceptable’ to as broad a spectrum of people as possible…

    I’ve encountered this first hand with anti-tankies. I was questioning their concern about .ml, suggesting they were being counterproductive and were actually advertising .ml, and several people responded that they’re scared new users will find .ml and be so offended that they’ll leave lemmy. It seems ridiculous to me that an average user would care about retaining and maximizing users on lemmy. Why would someone care? It doesn’t make sense. This is lemmy, it’s never going to be cool. It’s where a bunch of nerds argue. People should go back to reddit if they want size and an echo chamber.
