Fairly different hivemind here, I think. Still annoying at times but for different reasons. Individuals seem more likely to engage on a topic though. Maybe without instantly thinking you're their enemy.

It took me a bit to understand this. I was so used to expecting negativity that i thought non-negative comments were bring sarcastic.

"hivemind" is such a stupid bullshit concept. the only people who use it just don't like being disagreed with. if you use the term "hivemind" you might as well be a reddit conservative

Congrats on being the exception to the latter part of my comment.

Congrats on being an exception to the penulatimate part of your comment then? My point is that "hivemind" is already a thought-terminating cliche. If you're using it while seeking in-depth conversation, what do you expect to get? Hence me saying you "might as well be" such as such -- which is very different from treating you like an enemy. Seems like you gave a bit of that hostility back though! And why? Because this conversation revolves around a thought-terminating cliche like "hivemind".
