I have no goal here. Just sharing my opinions. Not failing to do anything.

Yeah being aggressive is good for driving people away. And yknow given that your goal is actually to drive people away I was wrong to say it’s immature.

I just don’t like aggression. I don’t go on the internet looking for fights.

They can do whatever they want.

I don’t care what other people do, I just ignore people I don’t think are worth failing with.

And yeah pass judgement if you want, but how I choose to deal with people on the internet is up to me.

It’s just polarizing. You’re just making people more staunch in their beliefs or just annoying people who would rather not deal with aggression (like myself)

If your goal is to drive people away and make a space where everyone just agrees with you all the time then it’s effective.

Yknow I’m talking about on social media platforms, right?

Frothing at the mouth raging at someone on a social media platform doesn’t do anything but cause more radicalization, so I just ignore people instead. I don’t spend most of my life fighting with people on the internet over politics.

lol

Awe well I still hope you have a good day.

Lol

And here we see an aggressive communist in the wild. You have a good day, dude

Ok, buddy

I usually just ignore them.

I find that a lot of crazy right wingers do it to “own the libs” or get a rise out of their supposed enemies. It’s all just a sports game to people like that.

If you ignore them they get bored and stop being so staunch in their awful beliefs. When you fight with them it makes them feel like they’re right. You end up forcing them to rationalize every shitty position.

Almost nobody posts on the internet trying to challenge and reconsider their beliefs, so it’s not like you’re going to change their mind anyway.

I mean that’s what I think, at least

I think that’s awful an immature behavior. When you fight idiocy with aggression (at least on social media) you just get idiots who think they must be right and start truth social or something

I’m fine with the lesser of two evils.

Lemmy has some very aggressive communists.

I’ve been lucky enough to dodge the crazy right wingers though.

You don’t know anything about me or where I am. Please don’t try making things personal it’s weird.

Bruh, reddit was created in search of capital. It grew and attracted communities in search of capital.

Reddit wouldn’t have existed otherwise.

I know about Aaron Schwartz. His beliefs didn’t change the fact that Reddit had major VC backing and wouldn’t have existed without it.

It’s really not a hard concept to grasp.

Lemmy would not have existed without Reddit. Lemmy is a clone of reddit!

Plus reddit put all the work intro attracting users and communities in the first place, before driving them to places like lemmy.

I meant the platform more than the company.

It’s my favorite format for social media… that’s why I’m on lemmy.
