There is a point at which conversation breaks down and everything you say is basically ignored because people on the internet make snap judgments about what you're saying and filter it into the category of "agree" or "disagree" and then up/down vote accordingly. I don't have time to go back and forth with people on the--fuck, I just responded
My sibling in Christ, you broke the conversation down,it didn't magically happen. Someone responded in good faith and you were an asshole instead of continuing the conversation or offering literally anything of substance
Eh, maybe you're right, but I was getting dogpiled and it gets old fast. Honestly, I think capitalism is a major problem and we can replace it with something better, but people on Lemmy are so fucking obnoxious about it that my patience wears thin. If you say anything remotely against that group think, you will get dogpiled. The other day, I had a post that said something about China/Tiananmen Square, and had so many comments complaining. I don't think I even encountered this much toxicity on reddit, this is ridiculous. Hence the "you tankies" comment.

We don't have downvotes on our instance. When we disagree or think a comment adds nothing, we tend to respond.
That's why you got so many answers, which you describe as "dogpiling". If you want to defend your position, responding to only one of those is perfectly fine.
Also for fuck's sake:
I don't think I even encountered this much toxicity on reddit, this is ridiculous
Nobody was toxic with you in this thread, nothing beyond being a bit harsh-toned. Reddit is far much worse. Again, probably you felt like that because of the sheer amount of answers you got.
The other day, I hate a post that said something about China/Tiananmen Square, and had so many comments complaining
Got a link ? because I suspect the comments in answer to you were not just "complaining" but were also argued and provided information.
The stuff you posted includes what is basically NATO propaganda, which is why it got so much reactions (and admittedly not all of them constructive - again, no downvotes here). Don't take my word for it, take the CIA's word for it for example (or any number of a hundred - far better argued and sourced than mine - answers in the very thread you linked). The "Tiananmen Square massacre" as usually described in Western sources is not something that actually occurred.
If you answer at least try to address the point

Crazy, you're describing exactly what you did

Looking at your comment history: you are a troll

Some of them were "well argued" some were just stating their opinion without facts. One guy said "death to America" which I found pretty funny

You responded to my completely anodyne comment with an insult and you're still crying like you're a victim
