Comment on Uh-Oh

There’s a huge difference between honestly saying you don’t like a given thing and hunting the people who do that thing down to force them to stop it or die. People on the internet have started to think simply voicing an opinion they don’t like is hate and persecution and intolerance. It screams of never having dealt with genuine intolerance.
I love when people wear clearly racist shirts, because that lets me know from a distance this isn’t a person I want to associate with. They’re allowed to have their asshole opinions. They’re not allowed to attack me or try to drive me out of town because of them.

Same opinion honestly, free speech with free consequences of it community-wise. If you’re an asshole, be an asshole but if people start avoiding you or straight up telling you to shut up it’s a you-problem.
And while on internet many folk became quite intolerant of different opinions, on lemmy especially it’s visible as the whole fedi is built around smaller, tighter knit communities. Which is cool, and I love it but it does tend to create echo chambers and skew perception of norm.

It’s still so weird to me. Not noting what instance a given post is from or knowing their tribal norms and making a simple comment and having a dozen people call for your death, and all of them feel that’s a sane and normal thing to do. This place becoming popular could be whole new fields of research in sociology and psychology.
