I’ve seen more than enough in your matrix chat with other admins to know you’re full of it.

Also

Don’t direct message me telling me to block your instance because you don’t want anymore down votes.

Who tf do you think you are internet boy ? I don’t care that you are an admin, I don’t fucking answer to you.

Yes, but it’s predominantly if not all news and politics or political ideological soap box posts or posts about defederation drama and instance infighting.

Just after having used Lemmy for 3 years, all it really is, is a small platform, for people to create a space where they can freely be hateful and shitty and hostile to opposite political sides that they hate.

It’s so they can experience feeling powerful over who they hate. In a sense, it’s their way of serving ‘justice’ keeping people out, defederating, is purposeful and habitual. It makes sense to me honestly.

Keeping Lemmy small, it’s easier to control and to continue to be able to have a place where they hate who they hate.

It’s annoying when ppl try to deny that.

Just be honest about it. Be truthful, ppl appreciate honesty.

Growing Lemmy would not be ideal, bc different people with all kinds of different perspectives AND INTERESTS THAT ISN’T TECH OR POLITICS would make them a minority. That’s purposefully being avoided.

I found myself telling myself, “Go on reddit today, don’t go on lemmy. You need a break from all the extreme constant politics”

I don’t engage in politics online at all for a while.

But that’s all what is posted and talked about here. No one here even wants to have actual fun and be silly or have a good time enjoying themselves. What is the most irritating, is literally no one fucking engages if it isn’t political. That stuff gets ignored and down voted. This is a political place that is the issue.

There’s no light hearted fun silly cool niche interesting happy or positive shit here. Everyone is angry and political and people are not interested in that.

Boost app does but yea try to use pixelfed or similar

Dam. That really sucks thank you

Unfortunately it’s not up to you decide what I do or do not believe in. You haven’t even asked lol

Assumptions are unopened windows that foolish birds fly into.

Chatgpts definition of Assumptions "Assumptions can lead to misguided conclusions, fostering misunderstanding and miscommunication. Relying on assumptions often reflects a lack of critical thinking and a failure to seek accurate information. People who habitually make assumptions may struggle with open-mindedness and may find it challenging to approach situations with objectivity, potentially hindering personal and professional growth."

Stop assuming. It will do you no favors.

I don’t even know what sealioning is. If that’s a term for ‘rage bait everyone so I can argue my political points in a malevolent way with an alterior motive’

Then the answer is no to sea lioning.

Look, so here’s the thing. I personally don’t see how either side left or right can have empathy or compassion or understanding on the things they care about, if no one wants to hear eachother out.

Lemny is a prodominently left leaning platform. I get that y’all believe and support certain issues because they mean something to you personally and yall are very opinionated about certain things especially hot button issues like this.

That right there, peaks my curiosity. Not that it is an irrelevant topic. It is very relevant.

I feel like if neither side can’t just hush their mouth and listen, then how will you be able to understand and empthathise?

We already know, and I know foe dam sho lol that we disagree on a LOT.

I don’t want to argue, i want to skip all that noise and just listen. I know what type of space I’m in.

I know I’m not gunna change minds so why would I waste my time doing that?

People change on their own. That’s not up to me and i get that. That’s why I refuse to argue here, or anything like that it’s a waste of both our times.

I’d rather just listen and see what I can I learn and why yall think what you think and that’s it.

I’m looking for your responses. I’ll even take it a step further. I’ve commented on a few. But I’m not going to ask people who agree with my side of things anymore.

I’m only gunna to acknowledge yall I’m not looking for people whom I agree with.

I already know where to go to find those answers. That’s not what I’m looking for here

Would you be ok explaining further on why you think this? Just ignore my comment if you’re not interested. Thank you for the reply

Appreciate your response thank you

Thank you for your input. As I’ve said in another comment, abuse is abuse.

But in your opinion, is there something people should be looking for specifically?

Some consider denying to acknowledge their children by their perfered pro noun abuse. Is this for example a form of abuse?

Asking that for clarification. I just feel like abuse towards trans kids from their family looks a specific way and I’m not trying to lump it in along with other forms of abuse.

It doesn’t matter what your opinion is on this and how you feel about it I’m not going to argue with you. I am just curious to know what you think and that is all. You don’t have to answer if you don’t feel like it thanks again
