People on Lemmy are getting bad too, you can’t disagree with someone in the most inoffensive way without getting a response full of hateful comments or name calling. Like if had a face to face discussion with a stranger I wouldn’t be like “you’re a brain dead idiot and you’re stupid” that’s rude as fuck, but that’s just how people respond to each other around here and it’s awful

One factor is that on the internet the only thing people know about you is your opinion that disagrees with them.

This is completely false and not true. You’re a brain dead idiot and you’re stupid!! :@

That is by design. Debate and counter viewpoints are an existential threat to both extremists and propagandists alike.

But aren't you doing exactly that?
