All of your arguments in this discussion have been totally on-point. Great posts. I may have to rethink joining your instance! I’ll send DM since I’ll probably be banned from this comm for the exact reasons you have been stating.

That’s a great chart. It’s nice to definitive proof of what I “feel” has been happening.

I see more hateful attacks on here than I ever seen on Reddit. I like the idea of Lemmy, but Reddit seems to be more well-behaved than Lemmy.

Even now, I keep arguing against idiots posting “kill a cop” or “kill fascists” memes, like this is literally an “advocate violence” platform

soooo much! Not only is this becoming an “advocate violence” platform, people are getting pissed if they have a post removed for advocating violence. Lemmy will def end up in the news after some crazy shoots up people and they find out he was all over Lemmy being cheered on to shoot billionaires or something.

this is the way

I’m the lucky one. And they are grown now, so all good. I do miss having little children around. They are hilarious and so fun. So now I’m just waiting for grandkids!

I love being a parent, and I loved having kids. But yeah, it’s tough if you aren’t into it.

Thanks for this!

All I did was ask for a link showing that UM was surprised or upset that you blocked her/him, because I’ve never seem them question that before. I always seem to remember them suggesting blocking them, not being upset by it.

I didn’t say you were incorrect; i was just asking for proof cuz I’ve never seen it. It’s not like I am super concerned about it or anything. But I don’t live on lemmy and have no investment between your feud–or whatever it is–with that person. not a big deal to me either way

?

u/universalmonk was one, acted so surprised when I blocked and didn’t want to explain why.

Links to that? Because I’ve never seen Universal Monk act surprised when someone blocked him/her.

In fact, he/she often recommended blocking them if you didn’t agree with what they said.
