Hmm… White people privilege is funny. If you don’t see that… Well that just illustrates the joke

This thread is wild. I suspect most of you who seem completely positive you’re right to judge thousands of people and what they deserve would be very indignant and angry if someone lumped you in with a category of people you somehow are tangentially related to.
It’s kind of depressing. I thought Lemmy wasn’t a wasteland of humanity like reddit was, but if I was only going by this thread I’d have to conclude it definitely is not a damned bit better than reddit.

I mean, reddit came on over here, didn’t it.
SnowdenHeroOfOurTime@unilem.org 1 year ago
Yeah. I was just hoping some of the assholes didn’t come as well.

It’s difficult to monetize assholery, that’s exactly who reddit is chasing away…

me too but here we are.

I completely agree with you, although:
Never had any hope for that. Humanity is what it is, shitty folks are everywhere, it’s statistics.
SnowdenHeroOfOurTime@unilem.org 1 year ago
Yeah shitty people are definitely everywhere, but I’ve had a lot of interactions that indicate the ratio is much better here than other online communities.
This thread kinda shattered that feeling. I don’t think most people being huge assholes about this know anything except that they hate rich people. Rich people? Anyone with more money than them. They don’t care if you have $1000 more in your bank account or $1000000000 more than they have. Apparently anyone “rich”-er is all the same person

ngl you sound just like the redditors did after Digg went to shit. Not saying that in a judgemental way. Just noting the similar response to similar situations

I had a nice couple of weeks here before the reddit really started to seep in.

I’m doing my part!
