Comment on When Windows users find the Threadiverse
nyctre@piefed.social 5 days agoHuh.. I never thought of it that way. And I can see how they’re similar but I feel they’re different still mostly because these are usually trolls or just idiots that come to complain, whereas those people usually post on fb/utube/etc. where they’re easier to ignore. Feels less targeted.

I mean everybody’s different, but a lot of those people (whether here or on fb, etc.) highly motivated by feeling un-listened to, and deep down they all share that motivation. Older folk tend to be the “in-my-truck” vloggers, and younger people tend to just be little shits wherever distance or anonymity gives them a sense of security.
But even people who don’t lash out can harbor a huge sense of resentment when they don’t believe anyone is listening to them. Take the last US pres election. It might not have been enough to make a difference, but plenty of people were voting (or staying home) because they wanted to punish whomever it was that they felt ignored by.
