  • I sorta on OP’s side; he said a sentence that could be interpreted hundreds of ways, and everyone assumed the worse and started attacking his character. And it’s very hard to nicely restate one’s position without some mild anger after that.

    Then people attack even more. It’s a feeding frenzy.

    I unblocked this community just this week; I even commented here. But this entire thing is just too much. I’m blocking politics again , and hopefully world politics changes for the better when test it out in a few months



  • I think that is all too frequent throughout the entire fediverse; just the topics change.

    I have blocked entire popular communities on many servers to not get caught up in that.

    There are some topics I just have to type a few keystrokes and I manage to attract controversy. And I do not understand why. What’s the big deal? Why do people hate me? And some instances are just weird to me, but others love it and find them important. Some instances are more in touch with my own weirdness.

    I think if I have learned anything by my adventures, is not to demonize any instance used by a large group of people, but recognize there are different types of oddballs lurking there, waiting …











  • looking for a instance with the fewest trolls, bots, and anyone that likes to take things to the extremes.

    All the instances are good in their own way, but at least one will irritate you very much, and it’s always different. There are ways each one can make you go “why???”

    There are commenters who will call one or more instances bad things. That may or may not be accurate for you.

    Each large instance has one or more crazy mods, all instances mostly have decent mods. Each instance will have multiple examples about why it’s good or horrible.
