I hope it's fine that I, as an external, come into your space and give my opinion here, this seems as good a thread as any.
I think what is
is the general hostility here. I think I agree with a lot of the political opinions here, however this place seems to revere "dunking" on people. Sure, these people you're dunking on might not be intelligent, and sure, they might, with their (wilful) ignorance contribute to the destruction of our planet, but I just hate the hostility, open insults, etc. I think it accomplishes nothing except pushing people away, it's not changing anyone's minds.
Whatever good discussion may be found here, I just don't like to deal with the tone it's had in. I understand that it's probably some kind of coping mechanism to deal with this shitty situation we're all in, but I have different ways to cope and don't want this big pile of negativity.
Anyway, I wish everyone a nice poop.
Certainly doesn't help that our emoji don't size properly on other instances and are huuuge. Sorry about that.
And yeah I agree that posters here are often way too eager to be hostile. Sometimes just smelling disagreement will be enough to start a dogpile or get called a "treat defender" lmao.
Right now though it's because federation is new. Hopefully we chill out a bit before everyone defederates us lol.
