    The funny thing is that I asked this question before, and was also downvoted then too because people think this isn’t something that could ever happen to them and I must be stupid. Trust me folks, give it four more years and a ban or two and you’ll be tearing your hair out just the same and cursing the platform.













  • Nope, there’s nothing controversial about it. If you’re in a wooded area with a bear and a man you’re more likely to be harmed by a man. Doesn’t matter how you view the question, just matters how much of a basement dweller you are.

    Edit: By nothing controversial - no mainstream news or popular opinion pieces or the general public at large don’t understand it. There is no controversy. Be insular on the internet all you want, I’m not attacking your opinions. But controversial is not this.


  • There is literally nothing better about the clientele of this platform than reddit except people are nicer and probably less miserable on average in the comments. If anything its users are less socialized and more insular - e.g. I use linux server extensively for work where it controls most of the internet, but most of the hot takes here about linux here are beyond stupid. If anything, between Lemmy and reddit, the users here are even more convinced they’re knowledgeable and infallible connoisseurs, if that’s even possible. So when fallout does happen, it’s generally more ugly.

    Also, the bear thing is not controversial - except with infantile man-children. Those people don’t get to represent a demographic.
