acting as if the entire userbase of a website holds a particular specific opinion
it's fine for like, vibes, as in "reddit is full of shitlibs" or whatever, but what i mean is like "everyone on hexbear said this guy was based, but he's actually a nazi!"
and it's usually like, 3 people said the guy was ok in one thread
There have been times I've blocked Hexbears for ~24 hours. Not because they were rude or they broke the rules but because they've made comments like your quote. Such stuff really irks me and I'm prone to "Somebody is wrong on the internet!" arguments. I'm way too old to do that anywhere. And I certainly want to avoid actual arguments at Hexbear. The next day comes and I unblock them because my impetus to argue has evaporated.
