They hit the nail on the head, there.
There was an asklemmy thread asking something like “what change would you like to see on Lemmy”, and I answered that I’d like to see the communists be nicer. I tried to be gentle to not upset them, but I guess they just have a victim mentality and some of them decided to defend their shit attitude. It went about how I expected.
I was just glad I didn’t get banned, but that’s more of a problem with lemmy.ml (I’m not privy to how things are handled on hexbear).
I don’t even mind the hostility. I get the hostility. It’s the dogmatic black-and-white views that irk me. Like, sorry that international politics doesn’t fit into your pseudoreligious slots of absolute good and evil?
I mean, when it’s not the issue of playing apologia for atrocities and totalitarianism. That gets my dander up in a hurry too.
There are a lot of things I dislike about them. But aggression? Nah, I get that.
Could you help me wrinkle my brain a bit today? I feel like I should know why you say you understand the aggression, but I don’t, and I really want to
Edit: And I hope this doesn’t come off like false naïveté, I am being sincere, please assume Chris Pratt “I’m scared to ask” intentions here
