    I know better than to get all pissed off and escalate things, but I’m just finding it so goddamn frustrating at this point. I am so tired of people misrepresenting arguments I couldn’t have possibly been any clearer about.

    I was hoping this place would be less like Reddit, but every day it feels more like it again. I’m sure I’ve contributed in my own ways, but I don’t know. I guess my optimism has been misplaced.

      I’ve certainly noticed the change. There are some posts lately that are indistinguishable from those on alt-right breeding grounds like 4chan and reddit. That’s why I wasn’t too gung-ho about persuading people to join Lemmy – there were a lot of people on reddit I was hoping wouldn’t come.

      I’ve started using raddle more, which comes with its own problems, but at least I don’t have to start by convincing people not to hate marginalized groups every time I open my inbox.
