You on the same Lemmy as I am?

[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 23 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

Yeah I really don't understand how people have a such a bad experience on here. I think I have had one asshole who argued with me, in over seven months spent here. And even that guy was mostly just condescending as fuck instead of outright throwing insults. Everyone else is just the normal kind of argumentative that I am myself as well.

[–] Cruxifux@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yeah honestly the people at Lemmy are mostly great.

I think the difference is that the people on Lemmy seem in general to be smarter than other places, generally people actually seem to want to discuss rather than argue.

Not that there aren’t dumb assholes on Lemmy. I mean, I’m here.

To me it just means people are more eloquent about their transphobia or their rationalization of genocide 🙄

[–] Cruxifux@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I haven’t seen a lot of transphobia here.

The genocide rationalization is an issue I’ve noticed.

Just a heads up, whoreticulture is going around trying to drum up trans hate by pretending like they are trans and then being an awful person. You may not want to take the bait.

It's nice that lemmy is small enough that you start to recognize the troll usernames. I once got FederatingIsTooHard to admit that he was HACKthePrison's alt, two well known trolls

[–] Cruxifux@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I don’t get into arguments about culture war bullshit anyway. Thanks for the heads up tho.

Wow lmao I can't believe you straight up just believe that, I am guessing you're a terf too? idk. anyway this is some of the transphobia I was talking about. This user didn't like what I was saying because I called them out as spouting terf rhetoric, and they started calling me a fake trans person trying to make trans people look bad.

[–] Cruxifux@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You just called me a terf, which I’m not, for absolutely no reason. So whereas I didn’t actually care before, I’m inclined to believe them now. None of the trans people I know throw around the term “terf” like that at literally anyone.

[–] whoreticulture@lemmy.world -1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It was a guess, to which I said "idk". If you're this easily swayed, I'm even more inclined to believe you have terf sympathies. If you truly believe I am a fake trans person spreading discontent...

lol

[–] Cruxifux@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Either way I just don’t think you’re worth talking to, because trans or not, you’re behaving like a huge asshole.

[–] whoreticulture@lemmy.world -1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You might "act like an asshole" too if people were spreading hate and misinformation about your marginalized identity that has been politicized and discriminated against increasingly over the past decade. Tone policing isn't cute.

[–] Cruxifux@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Man whatever weird psyop you’re trying to pull isn’t working here.

[–] whoreticulture@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Why are people on this app/website/whatever so paranoid and dismissive of anyone with a slight disagreement lmao, just because someone isn't on the same page as you, doesn't mean they're an FBI plant. But I guess it's easier to say that than it is to admit you're tone-policing a trans person after an encounter with a rampant and overt transphobe.

with full respect, probably not lmao. :) lemmy is small but there’s a lot of diversity of activity going on.

i mean fuck it, your instance name is literally yiffit.net. best not call into question other people’s expression of lived experience without evidence 👍
