Obviously, the internet has always been a toxic place, (the phrase “flame war” has been around for decades,) but it seems to have gotten so much worse over the last few years. I used to think decentralization of the internet would fix the worst of it, but Lemmy seems to have gotten worse alongside the rest of internet culture, proving me wrong. How do we fix/improve this culture of toxicity?

Block .ml and don’t engage with .ml users And hexbear and lemmygrad

  • Shun the toxic people. Block them and don’t look back.
  • Seriously, block them. They’re still gonna toxic whether you’re there to observe it or not.
  • Find a well moderated instance that isn’t afraid to show toxic people the door
  • Block .ml, grad, hexbear, dbzer0, and quokk.au
  • Block any other instance or person that centers itself around identity politics
  • Block all the news/politics communities. Just get your news from actual news services. The comment section for most news/politics posts here is worse than an entire garbage dump on fire.And you’ll end up with like 3 federated users left which is basically my /all feed now 😑

Cool cool, nice to see us dbzer0 anarchists are finally being rolled in with the rest of y'all. Once all of liberal Lemmy has self-isolated, recentralized, and started monetizing; maybe then we can finally have some leftist unity "in exile?"

dbzer0 as an instance and Hexbear seem to have been getting on better over the last year or so, gradually!

[–] ShareThatBread@hexbear.net 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Probably because the anarchists there stayed while the radlib “anarchists” moved to some other platform.

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 8 points 3 days ago

Yep, that would make sense!

Welcome to the revolution, fellow Tankie.rat-salute-2

[–] Liketearsinrain@lemmy.ml 13 points 3 days ago

It started a while ago, due to being too "tolerant to tankies". Sorry, only left unity possible is with liberals of course. Vote

I've seen .world getting rolled in with us lol.

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 12 points 3 days ago

obviously they are terrible, they still are on lemmy!

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Aren't they also rolling in blahaj?

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Blahaj is pretty anti-communist, it's usually just transphobia and homophobia that causes reactionaries to group them in with us.

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Well that and the person saying block anything identity politics

[–] FishLake@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Don’t you know that identity politics is everything I don’t like?

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 4 points 3 days ago

At least it's consistent with their views on politics 😂.

why they now got them politics in my star wars and star trek

In the anglosphere, if you have the right opinions about the past you're just someone who's knowledgeable about history, mature and aware of the tragedy of human blah blah blah

But the moment you apply those lessons to now and start having the right opinions about the present, you magically become either a naive fool who's attempts at change will surely only lead to further disaster, or an evil communist lich who is lying about caring for humanity, who simply loves death and craves power for power's sake.

Liberals as a group were always only playfully gesturing at the idea of following the facts and science wherever they go to form your understanding of the world, but their understanding of the world is trapped in the amber of civic religion and thinly veiled victorianism, and they're coping with the crumbling of their ideology irl by returning to 1950s medicine and declaring everyone who advances beyond them to be some combination of a chatbot, foreign, and mentally insane.hitler-detector The worse they feel about things, the more anyone with a principled critique will irk them and get the tankie stamp

It's nice to have you guys in the trioka though, I like reading a funny comment and seeing it came from one of you
