MODERATORS
People are more likely to comment when they disagree, since agreement just ends up sounding like “me too!”
But I find people on the fediverse are a lot nicer

Never realized that. Good point!
Wait a second here.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/rE3j_RHkqJc
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
I end up not commenting because I try to proofread and while doing it I notice I don't care enough about whatever or my comment doesn't really matter and just cancel de comment.
I do that a lot when Im about to make a dumb joke reply. Halfway through correcting all the mistakes I thankfully realized it's just not worth it.
Kinda feel bad for people when a joke I've made makes it to being posted.
Definitely.
On reddit I have observed my faith in the intentions of the person on the receiving end waning over the last years bc of that.
I have been surprised at the good faith people reacted to my comments with, I haven't yet gotten to the reddit poison fully out of my system.
It's kinda like when you filter reviews and everything is either 5 stars or 1 stars. Most people will only comment if they feel strongly about something and unfortunately we live in an outrage culture, so the majority of interactions will be negative. Very rarely will someone put the effort to reply to something they feel ambivalent towards
we're in a golden age before corporations, bots, and racist dumbasses come, we're not popular enough to attract people so the only ones here are foss enthusiasts and i know this is elitist but theres definitely a correlation between that and not being a weirdo jackass. once this gets more popular get ready for the shit hurdling and over moderation again. sorry to burst your bubble. i love this community

Don't know, I had some good and productive discussion here.
Yeah, and don't get me wrong, the majority of users I have engaged with here have been lovely. But occasionally you'll get the post with hundreds of upvotes, with maybe one downvote, but the comment section makes it feel like they're trying to set the place on fire.
It probably has more to do with the fact that there are far less of us than redditors, and comments are weighted differently from reddit.
No you haven't
I like to try to remember I don’t need to have an opinion about everything I stumble across.
Ope, there I go opining again.
I fuckin love arguing! 😍
Well I like arguing MORE than you!
Dammit, I argue more than you!
Oh you have opinions? Name every CIA asset on lemmy.
The only CIA asset that I know is YOU!
They DO seem obsessed with hating ML and ridiculing the idea anyone could be CIA
Hmm...
The real CIA assets were the friends we made along the way. 🙃
Damn, the CIA fell off
Truly feels like home seeing a bunch of people pointlessly arguing about something they'll both forget in an hour

Probably because you're a smug, combative asshole. The fuck is wrong with you?

Posts lighthearted joke
Replies: Are you saying you kill puppies?
Bet this mouth-breathing shill didn't even post the meme from a FOSS app. Despicable.

I prefer the term lemmitard thanks
I've been using 'lemmy users' but to save time i just use 'lusers'. Gets confusing with linux users but you already know if they use linux. I use arch btw.
Goddamn lemmers
This is how the Internet has always been, and it shall be how the Internet continues on.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!? I'M NOT SHOUTING, YOU'RE SHOUTING!!!
YOU CALL THAT A SHOUTING?
Lemmings when posting a post:
Why didn't you post this to c/BikiniBottomTwitter?
You're letting u/spez win!!
The proper thing to do to keep spez from winning is properly link to this community. In the format !memes@lemmy.ml
This way we know which server the community is on

Oh my fuck, you didn't just go out and assume I'm a snap case in the replies because you know fucking what..... maybe? I dunno. Just got here.
Seems chill though.
Hey guys, would you like to hear about how the only good political system is the one where you seize power and suppress all dissent with ruthless violence? If you disagree with any of this you are obviously a CIA shill.
