Saw some posts about .ml today and thought I'd jump on the bandwagon lol
Yeah that's the suck thing about Reddit, all those removed posts. Good thing that doesn't happen here on Lemmy Utopia....

I kinda feel like Lemmy has been much more hostile recently. I don’t know if it’s bots or if I just post bad comments, but it makes me want to go back to just being a lurker.
That'll happen with growth im sure.
It's not just you. People will wilfully misinterpret what I'm saying to their liking, sometimes accusing me of nonsense. Some others will jump in out of nowhere as if I owe them money. I have some asshole in my notifications right now trying to defend another asshole for some reason. The best part is how I'm the one getting downvoted for defending myself and calling them out on it.
This is awkward but... I think you owe me money.
The whole karma thing is one of the worst inventions in the internet. The whole upvote if you agree downvote if you don't it's stupid and should be eliminated, no one cares what you vote, if you have something to add reply, if no keep reading, nod your head up and down or left and right and move on.
Oh, I don't care about the points, I'll still reply in whatever manner I like anyway. It's at least some indicator of how your comment comes across to readers. It's just funny that I win the unpopularity contest for simply defending myself while the other person is spewing bullshit.
I got 1.6 million karma points in 18 months. Karma rules everything around me, K.R.E.A.M. get the upvotes, comment on my laptop
I feel like this is mostly the case for (semi-)political discussions
The world sucks right now. People on Lemmy are very aware of what's going on and are rightfully upset and that reflects in general sentiment and interactions.
Yeah. I get it. I feel that way too. Especially, if you fall into a minority group, it’s a scary time to be.
I said that the same people were bad as this other commenter but I mentioned that maybe instead of hating them, like the bad people do to us, we might want to approach the situation with a little more nuance and uphold empathic viewpoints for everyone not just people who agree with what we agree with and they told me the bad people shouldn't get any sort of empathy because they do bad things.
Yeah, people have been getting a bit touchy and on occasion misinterpret an innocuous comment as an attack.
What the fuck did you just say to me you little shit? I'll have you know that I graduated top of my class in Lemmy online debates.... (etc...)

it's probably just getting more popular
I hope so! I suspect the hostility will pass when American politics becomes less life or death.
Everything everywhere is becoming them vs us. Red vs blue, north vs south, east vs west, their color vs my color, their party vs my party, their opinion vs our opinion, your region vs my region, your problems vs my problems. Everywhere.
And we are all losing except the people that have always been winning.
Everywhere
Isn't it just Western recent hysteria? Don't see it for most of the world.
You are going to lose.
it's only gotten worse far as i'v been alive. bar only ever gets lower, not sure how they lower it from trump...alex jones/tucker carlson ticket for 2028, perhaps?

Disinformation only hinders the cycle. Misinformation if offered in good faith can cause hiccups but perseverance can overcome those and aid all involved.
Argumentation in bad faith helps nobody - it's purely emotional vomit.
