Lemmy

Kinda ironic considering how many people on here are completely unable to spot satire.

Although Facebook is definitely worse for the amount of idiotic comments being made.

I kinda get it, but I also understand why it happens. People are outraged by how the world is being fucked up and they speak out. It’s resistance to Idiocracy. They may be feeding trolls but saying nothing is ignorant compliance. So claiming it’s their fault feels like victim blaming. Also, the amount of neuro diverse people is also growing. They, we, often don’t understand sarcasm and trolling and take too much seriously. And are triggered by things meant to be a joke.

It’s funny how I reply seriously on this post. It’s like I’m inviting trolls to take me hard. I say: bring it! I brought lube.

Exactly.

Hurt fee-fees and subsequent down doots are bedrocks of lemmy.

I find it’s less common to find insistent users who refuse to read provided sources, or provide sources of their own, on Lemmy than on Facebook. It happens, but far less frequently than when I last used Facebook in 2015. Although my perspective may have been unique to my curated feed.
The flip side of that is people who think sources can support an illogical argument. Sources: think tank think tank WaPo.
I think the smaller communities helps with giving eachother the benefit of the doubt. Like if I’m disagreeing with someone from my own insurance, or another small one I know is generally cool, I’ll try much harder to figure out what their point is.
There’s a fine line between satire and being an idiot but on purpose.
