My experience on this platform has been mixed so far but one thing I’ve noticed the most is a significant contingent of the user base is really reactionary in their discourse.
This is a very typical exchange I have here :
User: I don’t like this color because it’s red.
Me: I don’t know, looks more like purple to me. What about red is bad?
User: Why don’t you fuck yourself in the face you fucking cuntfuck!
Me: OK…
Like, what gives? I don’t have this experience on other platforms. I have arguments but never this shutdown meccanism.
That’s very strange. I’ve been here a year now, and have noticed that it’s MUCH friendlier than Reddit.
I see that others have creeped your profile, and made suggestions about not antagonizing others. I’m going to take their word and recommend you take their advice instead of arguing about how everyone else is so argumentative.
Thanks.
The issue is I am argumentative. I like having disagreents and most of all I like hearing different points of view. If this sounds like a vanilla take, it’s because it is.
If I disagree with people on fb or insta or ask to verify the facts of an event there I will get push back or I will learn something new. I will also hear some combative words. Nothing strange.
If I ask about the facts of the matter here:
“blocked”
“troll”
“fuck you you cuntfuck defender of Kyle Rittenhouse. Eat dick.”
“I have you labeled as conservative removed”
On. And on. And on. But it’s OK, because apparently asking for facts is justification to garner this, right?
What gives?
