Some people are just too focused on others with no sense of observation on themselves.

In terms of the ‘weirdos’ who do this, they seem to be majorly concentrated within Lemmy.global. So it isnt the “whole” of Lemmy but more like a louder portion of it.

Also, these kinds of “controversial” stuff just brings the wrong kind of people - those which twist narratives, and spread hypocrisy. But as I said, I only encountered this in global.
