I'm hating all the Reddit spillover commenters that take the internet way too fucking seriously. They were easily the worst part of Reddit.
When I first seeked asylum here, people were being sarcastic in the comments and everyone knew, dark humour was being pushed, and there were no Well Actually Guys around. Now there's a big uptick in petty "discussions", know-it-alls, and those losers that break your comment up gaslit straw man style, to just put words in your mouth to try make you look like an asshole.
Says the person ranting about Reddit users destroying Lemmy. Maybe you're part of your own problem.
That would be /u/spez, but okay, bro.
First of all, it's not your internet. Not everyone is as "intelligent" as you think you are and sarcasm is actually hard to detect in text.
Second of all, not everyone appreciates dark humour because it can be very.offensive, just like using derogatory terms like "Well Actually Guy". If you want people on Lemmy, you need to make it a safe space for all.
Also, your account is only 5 weeks old.
So, now you're just anti-discourse? How is Lemmy meant to grow if comment section are empty, you bigot?
Again, derogatory.
Oh, shit.
Ngl this made me laugh
Got me in the first half
Finally, the fun kind of schizoposting!
There definitely are types of posts where breaking it down like you did is necessary. But those are usually the exception of mostly absolutely fine posts that may just have been worded weird or not mirror the majority's opinion.
I'm yet to see too many comments like in your example, but I've had a couple of rundowns with people about veganism as I had on reddit. Though I assume the subject itself is just polarising enough that the platform of discussion is irrelevant.
