    Good luck criticizing a user’s choice of platform hoping to get them to leave. I’m just happy to see one less corporate platform.

    “You really shouldn’t jump rope on the train tracks. It’s not safe.”

    “What’s not safe about jumping rope? Everybody jump’s rope.”

    “It’s not jumping rope that’s the problem, it’s the train tracks.”

    “I think I’m smart enough to know if a train is coming. It’s not like the train is coming for me specifically. I’m not that important. I don’t have anything valuable enough for the train to take from me anyw-“ splat









  • I find it’s less common to find insistent users who refuse to read provided sources, or provide sources of their own, on Lemmy than on Facebook. It happens, but far less frequently than when I last used Facebook in 2015. Although my perspective may have been unique to my curated feed.

    Again, I wasn’t defending the victim, I was criticizing the attacker. When presented with one person unintentionally offending someone, and another repeatedly verbally attacking them in retaliation, one must choose which evil to criticize.

    If the person committing the repeated verbal attacks were the homophobe, then they’d be the one I’d criticize first. A strong moral compass and delusions of superiority are in no way justification for verbal attacks.
