If I see someone’s reply start with “So, you…” - I’m already rolling my eyes so fast that I’m time traveling back to nineteen-blackandwhite. In general, it’s an overly reductive view on the statement that misrepresents the initial comment in order to try and spark a pointless argument.
It’s exhausting.
(in b4 “so you hate reading comments then?” 😂)
e: it’s not just Lemmy to be fair - the other popular aggregator, most tabloid news sites with comments, and a lot of gaming news sites with social interaction are largely the same.
In all honesty, I’ve found a more willing group of people to discuss things with - even if a lot of the time, our platforms and views are very different. There’s a larger acceptance on Lemmy of other people’s views and their right to hold them which is super cool, every now and then though I get brought down to earth with a bump.
