I hate this so much,
Someone is mentioned on Lemmy and there is always a drive by comment saying don't support X or X is a bad person with no context whatsoever. No mention of what specifically they are accused of doing/saying, no way to figure out if that clashes with your values or not, no documentation etc.
And subjectively it feels like half the time I research why this might be true it's debatable at best, I assume because if there was compelling evidence the person doing the drive by would have linked it.
Don't support u/Agent641
I should start replying to random shit with "don't support X" with no context or followup
Also, create a thousand accounts in advance at random days, never use them and make this comment their only, but when account is not fresh. That way it would look like it's a legitimate reader that was just once so outraged they decided to comment and then shut up forever
Lemmy sometimes feels like one big ball of barely seething social outrage.
That's most of the internet these days
So many didn't grow out of their "I'm so special and unique, I don't follow the mainstream" teenage phase and it really shows.
Don't support Djahngo.
