MODERATORS
Lemmy is older than the Reddit exodus, and historically had stricter moderation. When the exodus happened, the OG lemmy users saw the newcomers as rude at best, and various forms of bigots at worst. So 'go back to Reddit' is short-hand for 'such talk is not welcome here'.
But that is unironically reddit behavior to use such insulting and dismissive language rather than saying... "such talk is not welcome here".
Immaturity shouldn't be acceptable, even from the "correct" opinion holder.
It's kind of typical human behavior. People love forming little groups and then wailing on any outsiders to them. It feels good.
Which is exactly why it shouldn't be condoned or supported.
When your motivation doesn't extend past stupid ape brain, you're doing it wrong.
Yeah. The thing is, it's the main emotional motivator there is here.
Yeah, but at that point it was pretty much a ghost town. The only acceptable commentary to some people is whatever they type to themselves.
