Well, we certainly didn't leave that signature sense of superiority behind.
But I am superior
Honestly, that's so much worse here... The atheist posts are making me cringe pretty hard. I'm am atheist, so that's saying something.
It's like we got the best, and the worst, from Reddit.
Or "for the sake of Lemmy, don't..." or something along those lines when you disagree with someone.
Isn't proper discussion supposed to have disagreement? Was the point of Lemmy to create a centrist echo chamber? People should disagree sometimes, we have to be reminded to consider outside perspectives sometimes, even if we don't like that perspective.
I sternly believe that of all things on the internet, the one time you're actually allowed to feel superior and bully someone else is when they refuse to take a screenshot of a PC game and instead post a phone picture and then defend themselves calling it 'easier that way'.
One of those people recently even killed off several Dota 2 custom games, in a weird domino effect that literally started from them refusing to learn. They are acceptable targets, bullying them is justified, because they are stupid and you are superior.
