I don’t have any grievances with how I interact with the site.
My grievances are with users on this site who can’t acknowledge other people’s uses of it are not the same as their own and who feel they have to attack and bully other people into agreement with them.
Sort of like people who misinterpret my comments and read their own meanings onto my comments, and lecture me about how they know more about what I said that I did and then start arguing with me how wrong and stupid I am.
It’s almost as if it’s not about my comment at all… but more about their insatiable need to browbeat other people into agreement with themselves because they think disagreement or someone having a different expereince with them is some sort of threat to themselves.
Almost as if they have fragile egos and can’t stand for someone else to say things or discuss things that challenge that fragile egoistic experience, because they would have to acknowledge the world exists apart from their tiny little hugbox of thoughts they wish to surround themselves with.
I really don’t know where you’re getting all these people across the Threadiverse speciifcally berating you for how you use the website. Your top post in this thread was pretty caustic and confrontational and naturally got people’s backs up.
No, your interpretation of my comments was that they were confrontation and caustic. That’s a you problem, and you might want to ask yourself why it is your emotional response to my comments was that way.
I’m not really surprised, because my comment acknowledges something uncomfortable, and several people here’s respond to that discomfort, is to pretend it doesn’t exist.
Reminds me of my history day project in high school where I got an A+ from my teachers, but was dragged into the principles office because it made my fellow students ‘uncomfortable’. It was about the history and political influence of the KKK and racism in American society… almost as if despite being the truth, it’s acknowledgement made people VERY uncomfortable… probably because many of those same students were deeply racist.

I didn’t have a strong emotional response as such, just noting the general feedback. It certainly read as incredibly judgemental and sanctimonious to me but I personally didn’t feel attacked by it.

Even if the platform is wholly as you describe, people can only really focus on some things. It’s perfectly fine for people to just have their own interests and follow them and cultivate them.

Good god man, could you puff your own feathers out even more. The idea that Lemmy is politicised and partisan (or that people on it are partisan) is not some new observation.
However it’s not fine for them to throw a shit fit and get pissy that other people’s experiences are different than theirs. Or their beliefs and thoughts. Or act like someone else’s observations are some sort attack on themselves, which is precisely what people do here.
Like, if you want to take your ball and only play over in your corner great. But don’t go out of your corner and be SHOCKED AND UPSET that the rest of the world doesn’t act like you think it should or does in your little corner. Stay in your lane if the acknowledgement of negative things is something you can’t handle.
