Let's treat eachother better; this isn't Reddit 2.0 - Lemmy.world

I’m already seeing a small but distressing increase in behaviors that are frankly embarrassing. There’s no need to make what seems like an extra effort to treat each other poorly. Being “casually” antagonistic, dismissive, and instigatory for its own sake is miserably sad. We don’t have to migrate the crummy reddit culture, too. Let’s leave it back on the dumpster fire?

As a right wing person, and also a person that has been a complete jerk on the Internet in the past, I’m committed to treating others with respect on this platform, I would encourage community blocking for things that you do not want to see, for example, I don’t want to see porn so I will be blocking those communities and you guys may not want to see my stories that I’m posting from a right wing news site on dank microwave taco, but it doesn’t mean that we have to block the person or be a jerk or block the whole instance that that person is on, please give me some feedback, as I am always ready to have a conversation respectfully with those that I do not agree with

My post had zero to do with politics, and you've brought it up several times already (for some reason?) My post was about people treating each other poorly for virtually no other reason than to be malignant.

I feel like this person is trolling the thread and I am sorry because this is exactly what you are talking about. I don’t think this person is sincere at all …

Given that their community has already been banned from other instances (and the behavior of said community in this thread already) you're probably correct.

Question? How long have you been using lemmy?

The world's a big place. For many people, when we watch or encounter any content from fox news, it's extremely obvious how they are lying and trying to manipulate the viewers/readers into conservative and reactionary positions. So when people unironically consume their content, it's quite alarming to those of us who understand what they are doing. We know that your thoughts and opinions are probably warped by the propaganda you have been consuming.

I'm not going to downvote you because I feel that you're at least trying to be reasonable. But I just wanted to attempt to explain why people are going to be hostile to conservatives like you and why it's actually not crazy for them to behave that way.

You shouldn't have to. You have done or said nothing wrong here, what I am seeing here though is a lot of hatred on their end for no reason. And this assumption that sense we watch Fox News, that they have justification to be assholes.

This is blatant hypocrisy. And quite frankly I'm getting fucking tired of it. This is usually why I don't walk on eggshells for anybody on the internet speak my mind and call people out on their bullshit

He is being sincere.

What about anything he said makes you think he is not being sincere?
