The only way hobby communities will become active is through member contribution, just saying. I mod a couple, one that has 500+ subs yet I’m commonly the only one populating it. We need more nerds helping.
The varying emoji size and dimensions can make it really difficult to read posts, as an outsider. I also think the problem might be exacerbated by different clients. Jerboa for instance really does not like y’all.
This is actually a modern parody strip, by Kerry Callen. Great, nonetheless.
They’re conditioned to and glorify negativity, is what it is. I get downvoted for the most innocuous shit when I post or comment in self-proclaimed “liberal” instances.
I’ve been commenting frequently on y’alls posts since you federated. I’ve not received a single downvote here. Not one.
They find even-keeledness and agreeability sinister. That says a lot.
The internet.
The internet of the 90s was wild, creative, and not as accessible. We dreamed that as it grew and became more accessible, a utopia of information and creativity would flourish.
Instead we got a bland, corporate wasteland, and free soapboxes for every shithead out there.
They’re absolutely harmless, and I don’t understand the recent hubbub. Their culture is a bit strange, but they mostly seem to just want to shitpost about politics in peace. They won’t bother you unless you say “defederate hexbear” 3 times in a mirror, and then they swarm, I think just wanting hugs or something.
Why? They think my jokes are funny.
I hate that they made me feel that way …
And on that day, no personal responsibility was taken.
When I saw that thread last night, I was expecting the links to the “offenses” to be wild. But then it was just bathroom humor, and a singular call to execute landlords, which I found hilarious.
I just do not understand the lack of humor of a lot of people, on these instances. You’d swear their lives are devoid of happiness.
