You’ve got it backwards. Society doesn’t work without a looming threat, whether that’s an enemy or the environment.

a lot of software dev people are incredibly naive when it comes to how human beings interact and behave.

their biggest mistake is often they assume other people are chill nerds like they are…

i already have had multiple weirdos harass me on lemmy for not being leftist enough. i’ve blocked dozens now, and really kills the experience to have some crazy people go around and brigading your comments because you disagree with their political viewpoint slightly.

way too many people take the internet comments/points WAY too seriously…

instances are just distinct servers really.

and some of them are purpose/politics specific.

there is also more diverse content than the crap that was on here six months ago.

when 50% of the frontpage is linux memes… you’re not going to gain the interest of most new users. now it seems to be down to about 20%

so downvote most things on lemmy then?

congrats

my experience is that people are idiots. no matter where you go irl or on the internet. and will willfully be offended at the slightest disagreement or hint that they wont’ get their way.

‘just go somewhere else!’ - this is the same thinking that is the usa housing and immigration crisis. head in the sand nonsense, blaming other people, and then jerk yourself off about what a saint and divine patron of lemmy you are.

So are internet comments are terrorism now?

Sad to see how quick lemmy is becoming reddit. I’ve already had lots of DMs from hateful angry folks with rage problems who take words on their web browser way too seriously.

and the dumbos who go around downvoting all your comments because of one they didn’t like.

I’d rather we just ditch algorithms and go back to it being random/chronological feeds.
