Speaking past each other is IMO the biggest source of friction and division on the fediverse.

I have mysteriously vanished for like 2 or so months now (which is a good thing, please take breaks from the internet every once in a while), I don't really remember NOT being kind here.
And this post reminds me of why Lemmy is a good place to begin with.
Best I can do is rewind.
Okay I agree, so let's start from Linux related any post, tell them if somebody asks a problem don't tell them just install mint , or how one is crazy because they are facing the problems in Linux or if you are not using Linux what idiot are you. I stopped participating because
- Linux dude bros are just idiots troubling me
- I can't find content which is though not niche is just is plain not news or Linux
- It's very confusing to use fedverse as I don't know of i can go all subs via my boost app or do i need something else , if so where to access them.
So let's make it ACCESSIBLE, NON DERAGORTY FOR ANON LINUX USERS ALSO
Tell that to the people who make a dozen sockpuppet accounts to insult me just because I disagreed with them.
Second best thing you can go is to report unkind people.
Yeah, try reporting behavior mods themselves are aware and approve of LMAO 🤣
This applies to real life as well. Results may vary.
So I can't be myself?
No. But you can work on yourself to become a nicer, better person and we will support you all the way. Then, you will be allow to be yourself.
With love,

Pete, we know you're a big softie inside.
No. You can go to hell!
On the one hand, yes, yes, yes, absolutely.
On the other hand, way too often people are absolutely vile here and nobody sticks up for themselves or for others. Really a shame that r-word-it bullshit behavior is often times totally accepted and approved and even rewarded here.
Highly regarded behavior has been an internet staple for decades
