i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.

Nah, the main internet hive minds still exist.

I’m frequently downvoted for saying anything positive about my Tesla.

playing victim is something a tesla driver would do tbh.

I think your comment is a perfect example of the issue. In just a small sentence you

  1. stereotyped OP and put him in a group “all Tesla owners plays victim”,

  2. used ad hominem attack on the person claiming that they were a Tesla driver victim and use that as a character rebuttal instead of arguing against their hive mind statement,

  3. general dismissal by accusing them of playing a victim so you could ignore their experience and contribution.

Why?

Yeah, that was the joke. I also upvoted the comment.
