Comment on Anon argues on reddit
jaennaet@sopuli.xyz 10 hours agoLiterally impossible in a federated open network. Your posts are going to be public.
But yeah, on other accounts I’ve had psychos following me around for weeks. One had a bunch of alts and some script that they used to downvote every single comment I made immediately after I made it, so that they always dropped to like -10.
Like I just said in the comments of another post, I’m seriously thinking of just deleting all my Lemmy accounts. 5 years in, this place has managed to turn into reddit but with more unhingned “marxist leninists”

I feel you. I have had my fair share of run ins with crazy on this platform and I’m only still here because I like the people on the Danish feddit and I enjoy the adhd meme group. I don’t like how the tone online has become so extreme over the years. You can’t even disagree with one another these days without having a label slapped on you and being banned from all kinds of communities for transgressions that are ridiculously milque toast and middle of the road.
If it gets any worse and this type of mentality starts bleeding into the groups I enjoy being on, I think I’ll bow out as well and accept that the social internet is dead and not coming back anytime soon.
We live in the time of the extremists. Anyone who tries to be moderate or normal is pushed out. That is what I have learned over the past couple of years. I just miss the day where people could have different opinions and still respect one another. I miss when not every fucking thing was caked in politics.
