Idk man… I’ve seen some truly passive aggressive comments sometimes. To the point where one could say ‘I don’t like your tone buddy’. Let’s not glorify and patronize communities one over the other.

Oh, you’ve seen truly passive aggressive comments have you?!? Name every one.
True. It’s still a good aspiration. Maybe we can get there.
People keep making these memes, yet I keep seeing plenty of vitriol in the comments
Just don’t ask what lemmy app is the best. Trust me.
Literally had someone tell me, unless the lemmy police were actively trying to take my app away, I have no right to complain about the elitism, lol.
I think it depends on the instance, I find lots of vitriol comments on lemmy.world.
I noticed OP is a beehaw user, so they’re probably shielded from a lot of the active vitriol we see here.
Correct.
Aight bro, you wanted it that way!
COME HERE FOR A HUG!
There are fewer kids and fewer people on the right on this platform. So anyone near the center gets treated like dog water. You just dont see many.
Shang Chi is a true leader here

Me too
Shang-Chi is making some good points
Shang-chi chooses Lemmy, confirmed.
I’m pretty sure that’s Ken. He’ll beach you off in a heartbeat. Right here, right now.
I just joined Lemmy and I have already seen a comment from a tankie telling all Americans to “rot and die” in this same community. So no, it’s not all wholesome.
The good thing about Lemmy it depends of the instance.
If it helps, it only ever seems to be the tankies, which are progressively becoming the minority. I’m sure more dicks will show up in future waves, maybe, but…I’m kinda seeing the point of just the lowest possible entry hurdles.
Actually, hold on, tumblr was talking about ActivityPub a few months ago, so if they ever actually do that and do it functionally, that will change the culture pretty substantially. Much more weeb/sociopolitical. I’m happily fucking out of the politics here by choice.
Yeah, anyone who makes a comment similar to that I always assume they’re a tankie. They are extremely easy to identify based on their comments.
Pretty sure a lot of them are Kremlin/CCP LLMs.
I suppose the difference is the LLM knows how to build a weapon.
It is funny seeing tankies come face to face with the real world and their comment ratings sink like the Titanic though.
Bonus points if the tankie was American themselves.
extra points if the user was from lemmygrad
Is lemmygrad what I think it is?
Probably. It’s one of the instances dedicated to Marxist-Leninists. I block some communities there due to not wanting to deal with apologia for what I see as crimes against humanity but, there are also meme communities, etc. Also, despite significant differences, the user interactions that I’ve had have been much less vitriolic than other parts of the Internet.
A Leningrad pun, yes.
And double bonus points with sprinkles on top of it was a bot or shill pretending to be an American.
I actually saw someone change their mind in a heated thread. It was amazing.
What open mindedness does to a mf
It used to happen on Reddit.
Then the Trumpening…
Yeah, on Reddit, especially in bigger communities, if you admitted you were wrong about something (or not at least technically correct in some way), you’d get downvoted and had asshats commenting how dumb you are, so they’d get upvoted for that.
Here, there’s less people to dunk on you, and I imagine, also just fewer kids, who need the validation from dunking and aren’t yet as self-reflected…
fuck you.
That’s simply not true lol
Wait for it…
Hey, fuck you buddy! You can’t tell me what to wait for!
Fuck you, for fucking buddy, while you are not waiting for it.
Actually if someone is not waiting for it then it would be you fucking buddy fuck you wait for it.

I’m full of vitriol so reddit refugees feel at home.
Meanwhile there are girl boring guy quirky memes all over this community. Casual sexism is what’s wholesome.
I’ve never seen one, but I’m new.
Spotted a decent number of dog whistles on lemmy.world tho
dog whistles?
From the Oxford dictionary: a subtly aimed political message which is intended for, and can only be understood by, a particular group. “dog-whistle issues such as immigration and crime”
I guess coz the communities are smaller they are easy to moderate !
