In my experience, this happens way less on Lemmy than on Reddit before the IPO.

i can’t speak to the frequency but the tone is definitely different when it happens here compared to on reddit, probably influenced by the demographic and field of interest differences. the ml roots of the place really have echoed throughout the tone of the space, so most of the arguments have a really cynical, high alert, almost superstitious affect to them that i never really encountered on reddit. (some random account i thought i was cool with is trying to like psychoanalyze my recent posts to find my true intentions? i gave up on that convo)

your mileage may vary, of course!

Blocking all of .ml makes your experiences vastly more pleasant

I wish I could do that, but sadly the Linux community is barely alive on any instance other than .ml.
