this site is actually so mean literally all the time so im posting this here to let you know you’re not ‘too sensitive’ or something for not wanting to deal with attacks on your gender/body/intelligence for daring to exist and have fun online. the freaks that act like this are NOT the norm (they are just the loud and obnoxious minority) and it’s OK to take your time in recognizing this. <3

    Lemmy has a serious “I’m 14 and very badass” problem. Take the tone way down y’all. You wouldn’t act like this in the real world.

      I live in a highly repressive area where Trans people are seen as nonhuman beasts, I cant even be myself irl.

          Maybe you’re not using Lemmy correctly? I would suggest looking at hot, 6 hour, 12 hour, and subscribed in that order. Blocking communities that drive you crazy would also probably really benefit you.

            Oh I do. And users. And sometimes whole instances. I’ve still yet to go an entire week without getting into an argument with a troll spanning at least three hours and coming away knowing nothing I didn’t before.

                alright then, how about this: I’m tired of my feed being a 50/50 mix of memes and blatantly wrong communist propaganda

              Sorry man, that sounds like a you thing. If someone is trolling you, you commenting back is the worst thing you can do. Just state your facts (to give the counterbalance) once and then walk away. If you’re replying and explaining, they’re winning.

            pawb.social is defederated from hexbear. I’m seeing those same clowns on .world. They’re not even localized to .ml anymore.

      Can you pinpoint a post which demonstrates this? I’m mostly on blahaj Lemmy communities, but I’d like to see your perspective.

        Are you aware that there are people in this world that have a severe medical condition which causes them to be that way? My mother for instance is one of those people. She is a truck driver that has bad knees and a bad back from driving the truck but you probably do not care about that case either. Oh well I am not one of those people I am 6’4″ 245lbs and I exercise every day. I would love to see you say something like to my mother in front of me. Probably never happen though you are probably just an internet tough guy. I doubt very seriously you would say that to someones face. Just my thought.What do you think. Oh I am sorry you probably do not have a brain. I on the other hand will be happy to buy you a plane ticket to come here and see if you have the nerve to say that to someone I know.
