  • But barrel, how am I supposed to baselessly feel superior to the people around me if I’m not enforcing arbitrary language rules despite knowing full well what people mean when they talk about there new haircut or or use new words like startup? I don’t care about effective communication, I care about an artificial hierarchy that I can place myself near the top of.

  • My brothers wife. Started a conversation with me one day like “you know, my 2yo stepbrother has autism, and you don’t act anything like him. I don’t think you really have autism.” I’m sure our difference in behaviour is because I don’t have autism, not the fact that I’m literal decades older than him









  • Ehh. We’ve had the divisiveness and vitriol that comes from leftist infighting for at least as long as I’ve been here. That being said, I myself came here from reddit when they banned 3rd party reader apps so idk if lemmy was some pre-corpo internet paradise before I got here. The only thing I really notice when waves of people leave reddit is that we get a handful of conservatives on lemmy when that happens, which is a magical time when all of the disparate leftists on the platform come together to cyberbully the conservatives off of lemmy.


  • Nobody is happy when you call them out for marginalizing people they view as inferior. I get the same reaction when call out family members being blatantly racist at family gatherings. I don’t care about the reactions of people who choose to engage only with my tone, they’re not here to interact with me or my opinions in a meaningful way. Last, I don’t believe I overreacted at all. I called out shitty alienating behaviour in response to a meme that implies an outgroup community is disgusting or inferior based on their operating system choice. As I see it the tone of the meme was significantly more insulting than the tone of my response.
