Selection bias mostly, you only remember the negative interactions. I'm new here but I've not run into any particularly negative or rude people so they don't seem super common, nowhere near like reddit.
yeah i noticed they tend to go after certain posts and they need to be primed by either downvotes or a comment. the rude people will be quiet if you make safe posts but if they get a hint that there other people that don't like you then they dogpile. i noticed a good way to trigger it is to basically say or imply you do things without their approval or you dont care what they think
Yep! And they'll follow you to other communities just to downvote. It's crazy how some here.
I still like Lemmy more than Reddit tho!
Lol yesh they got obsessed with me to the point that I had to delete old accounts. Like I posted a story about how I kept calling out a developer for always hyping and never delivering and even lying. They basically would not let me post it on any other community and they even successfully got shit post c/ to delete the story.
Funniest thing is that I posted it to a obscure 200 followers community and one of them still found it and started attacking me.
These people are hilarious. They're petty and I'm petty, and they're the embodiment of anger (irrational) mod
I see your a conservative on a left leaning platform which that's got to be hilarious. Don't worry I think fediverse should be welcoming to the right and help the right make their own instance. I'm anti corporations so I'm happy if corporations lose audience do to their audience doing their own thing.
That guy is obsessed and really wants other people to hate you. Personally I ignore the peer pressure nonsense
And he even followed me to this thread just now! LMAO

Lol he actually quote clipped you. Man that's guys looking for reasons to be petty. Make sure to talk in as simple terms as possible
It's definitely been an adventure. I was banned from a politics sub because they thought I was an alt username from some other banned conservative person. Not because of what I posted or what I said, but because they thought I was an alt of a entirely different conservative poster. Which I'm not, by the way. lmao
But yeah, I ignore all the peer pressure here.
Lemmy isn't open to alternative voices.. yet. But I think we'll eventually get big enough to allow people of all viewpoints here--which many people here DON'T want, and that's why the pushback.
That sounds.. rather conspiratorial.
Also, just yesterday I posted a longish rant about doing what you want and not caring about what people think in a comment and the only reply I got was 'This is the kind of pep talk I need!', so.. shrug Guess we travel in different circles.
well i don't say that its orchestrated or premeditated, its generally that group wants to feel part of a group and they look for signs that they're part of a group. the "tipping point" is a comment (or even a downvote on op replies) and then people that seek approval align themselves with the largest group.
I told the anti ai crowd that i was going to make an ai bot somewhere on the fediverse just to see how people would interact with it fedizens, simply to satify my curiosity, so that's the context. i just telling people "you're being an asshole to me and making demands from me while I'm just trying to hear you out, so i don't feel like changing for you"
My bad, perhaps the better word to use would've been paranoid. Had a similar ring to 'they only come out when no one else is looking', ya know?
Oh okay. I did have a conversation I tried to explain a litteral conspiracy and I kept getting called a conspiracy theorist
