It's the internet. Youre going to run into people you don't like online. If you want to live in a coca cola commercial I hear there's a whole strip mall of multi billion dollar corporate websites you can use, stick to those.
Frankly I've grown tired of that attitude towards online things, that toxic and hateful behavior should just be something thats expected on the internet. Granted, I've done my time in places like 4chan and am completely able to tune it out. I shouldn't have to bathe myself in that toxic environment just to be able to participate in an online space though. This blase attitude from the neutral online that "its the internet, what did you expect" is precisely what allows fascist and xenophobic communities to grow and thrive unchallenged. I'm just tired of the bullshit. So tired.
You have a choice of where you go and what you do, if you dislike something then don't go there. I never used 4chan or similar and ignoring it is easy for me you just have to stop caring so much
I don't like communists, or leftists in general. I find that theyre hateful, snarky, they enjoy watching people suffer, they dehumanize their political opponents, theyre disingenuous most of the time, they want to control your thoughts and how you fuck your wife and most of them are incognito racist. But I'm on the internet. I'm here, on Lemmy. Why? Because I want to see this project succeed. I don't want to go on Instagram and Facebook, I don't want some sterile environment where all anyone talks about is the weather and the new flavor of Ben and Jerry's.
If you don't want to hang out in spaces where people you don't like hang out, don't. If it gives you nothing of value feel free. But the internet is public, so it mirrors the world. These are our friends, family members, neighbors, the people we used to talk to at the sandwich joint before everyone had headphones in all the time. I don't want to experience the world through a fucking condom.
Hey man, I don't want to see the internet become sanitized either. I just don't think hate should get dismissed as "the internet being the internet". Also, I hope you don't assume I'm a communist or something, tankies are just Nazis with a red coat of paint.
Speaking of nazis, my mistake in assuming you were relatively neutral.
Hahahahaha have fun digging in my butthole.
I said I don't like leftists, I don't know where you got the idea that I was neutral. But I don't like Nazis either (real Nazis, not what leftists call Nazis which is everyone and everything), that meme makes a scary point to me, reactionaries breed reactionaries kind of thing. One day one of them is going to be arguing with me on the internet and go digging in my butthole, find this dialogue and screenshot it like it's some kind of win.
