I mean I have met many chill lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear users. They’re just a pain when you talk about their specific topics. The same applies to blahaj users. The main issue is ada, the instance admin of blahaj
I guess that’s true. Personally I like to give everybody a chance and if they decide to be unhinged toward me and ignore any and all attempts I make to have us meet in the middle, they get a block. I used to think that blocking people was weak and that I should be able to find common ground with others no matter what, but at this point in my life, I have accepted that some people aren’t just misunderstood or misunderstanding me or are just having a bad day. Some people are just assholes and a waste of time, so block.
But honestly, someone can belong to any group or ideology, genuinely, any one of them and I will still try and meet them as a person first and be open minded. I have talked to unhinged leftwing extremists and I have talked to unhinged right-wing extremists, religious, atheists, vegans, you name it, and I have found the humanity in them or I have accepted that they are not worth my time. It always depends on the individual, but some individuals are so stuck in the hivemind of their ideology that there really isn’t much individual to connect with. And that is kind of scary and sad to come across that. Both online and irl.
