    I’m worried for the state of the internet.

    Not because communities like this exist, but because it seems everyone in the thread is failing to recognize obvious trolling. Have you kids never heard of flaming? This is the most egregious ragebait and y’all are taking it

      Fear not, because a single person doesn’t constitute a community. And Madthumbs gets talked about every six months or so, when a batch of new users discover them. Everyone then completely forgets about them until the next cycle.

      I joined lemmy a couple of days ago, this whole community feels like the most autistic and socially inept part of reddit. Really weird to read the comments on lemmy.

          Hey, I’m not trans, I’m just an ally who enjoys the egg_irl and related communities. And I’m barely even Aspergic. And only one of the four family laptops has linux on it, and it’s not even Arch, it’s Mint.

      A single user making dozens of posts and rarely getting any response? I wouldn’t call that egregious, it just seems ineffective to me.

      Ragebait and trolling are fine for me, but there is imo one place where this doesn’t belong: The rules section of a lemmy community
