I’ve noticed that there seems to be an emphasis on being extremely serious at all times, as if every single comment is a PhD dissertation being evaluated or something. There’s like this weird, subtle one upmanship about every little thing and a lot of people are very nitpicky and judgmental. It kind of takes the fun out of being on here, TBH. Or am I the only one experiencing this?
I have experienced that in a relatively small number of user, communities, or instances. I tend to block them if they are jerks or the community encourages dog piling on people who “don’t get it” or the mods are power tripping.
They do tend to be active because they are so contentious, but it is very repetitive as they cycle through the same few topics.
