    I’m the same way after I got into countless arguments with grown adults on deviantart when I was 13 or some shit 💀

    What makes me laugh is that Shitpost is supposed to be a haven away from everyday bullshit. A few jokes a few laughs. Why do people have an issue with that? If every joke MUST conform to your life view then I don’t think you have much of a sense of humor. And therefore I don’t think this group is for you. Everyday there is stuff here that I personally don’t find very funny, but most of it I do, and so be it. I don’t downvote it, I don’t make a negative comment about, and of course I don’t “report” it.

      My question — is the percentage equal with reddit obviously having higher total numbers or is the percentage actually significantly lower on Lemmy?

        I have no special knowledge here, but my hunch is that it’s more to do with for one thing is a smaller neighbourhood, but also there’s no account karma making you feel better than others. Also, many of us use a frontend that allows tagging, so it’s easy to remember people by a specific reputation.

        There’s no benefit to discarding people the second they fail to please you because you’ll just make the whole thing unusably empty, so there’s more of a tendency to act like everyone’s just people. There are still Reddit-like behaviours, but it’s far more human.

          that was a thoughtful and accurate explanation.

          And right to your point, I was a frequent contributor to another NON POLITICAL lemmy group. Over a few months I was being attacked. I guess my neutral attitude offended those who insist that they and only they have the right answers for everyone. Bottom line I just left the group and continues to shrink in views, posts, and comments.

            I tag people if I have a problem with them. If I see them being cool in other contexts I change the tag, but if I see them consistently being ungroovy I just block em. Now I mostly don’t see anyone being vile, after two years.

            You’ve only got to worry about maybe 5% of people. Most folks are good, and if you can avoid the rest it’s a good world we’ve got.
