    Lol, ig “egocentric” should be part of the official tankie toolkit, and yes you were tagged a tankie a long time ago.

    These posts aren’t for you, they’re for swaying sane .ml users to leave, showing the true colors of .ml to newbies as quickly as possible and to hopefully encourage non-.ml users to avoid posting and commenting on .ml communities

      For me posts like this just make me embarrassed to be on Lemmy in general. It’s like making a post about how you get upset when you get an email from a Gmail account.

        And look at the responses you get for pointing out that everyone else is acting immature in here too. Yeah Lemmy is an embarrassment.

          Yeah. Lemmy was a good idea but I don’t think it’s user base will ever be good enough to make this a pleasant place for good communities to thrive. And it’s not because of tankies or liberals, it’s because of assholes.

              No I said this post made me embarrassed to be here. The instance fighting is one of the worst aspects of this site.

                Okay, if you feel embarrassed do something about it. No one’s going to stop arguing just because you feel embarrassed. Furthermore, the reason people are bashing people on ml is because their collective behavior has been atrocious. Here’s some things you could try:

                1. Advocate for a culture of better inter-instance conduct between ml and other platforms (this will likely get you ridiculed and if it ever works, it won’t be soon.)
                2. Get on an instance that isn’t as hostile (highly recommended)
                3. Leave the platform (this will produce the most immediate and thorough results)

                Edit: ah, look at that, the Russians woke up and the downvotes are pouring in.
