There are a few subreddits I check out from time to time because Lemmy doesn’t have the volume of users required to keep those niche conversations active.

Wow, what a pain! There’s so much hostility and byzantine rules. It’s just not worth it.

      If you’re weighing on on complex issues with simple replies, you’re going to come across as you’re concern trolling. If you’re regurgitating conservative talking points without realizing it, you’re going to come across as a conservative.

      You mention being against wind as nuclear is better, but wind isn’t competing with nuclear. It’s competing against oil. Guess what a major export of Norway is. You’re regurgitating talking points from your conservatives.

      You mention being skeptical about trans children, but in your comment history, you don’t propose a solution. Competitive and recreational sports has no effect on your quality of life. Why bother having an opinion on it?

      letting biological men compete with biological women in sports

      Is it fair to let Michael Phelps, who has genetically abnormally large lungs, compete against other men without that genetic benefit? Why is genetalia your preferred means of segregating sporting groups?

      I can’t read your first paragraph-like word-mess with any confidence and I’m not sure the commas and periods are where they should be. I stopped there, and I’m sorry if this prevented me from really understanding what you wanted to say.

      If it helps, at all…I don’t give a fuck either way. I find people who cling to the latest social trend as annoying as those who loudly oppose it. I enjoy educated banter from both ends of the spectrum…however, 90% don’t want a civilized & educated discussion…they want to insult and make you sound less than human in order to validate their beliefs & opinions. It’s the same all over the internet. Doesn’t matter if you are on Lemmy, Reddit, Twitter…doesn’t matter.
