I don’t think they are the only ones on this platform, tbh xD I will say that I have run into some chill blåhaj people here and I have run into people who are affiliated with entirely different instances or what you call them that have displayed some of the most unhinged, unpleasant behavior I have experienced online. I was so close to just delete myself from this platform and forget about having any online social outlet after a series of interactions with particularly disgusting individuals on here. I can kind of see why they were banned off of reddit, ngl. I haven’t interacted enough with blåhaj people to say if they are as bad as that or not. Seems like a mixed bag to me.
The most pleasant people on here that I have met have mostly been my fellow Danes and all the Linux people. For whatever reason, the Linux fanatics just tend to be super welcoming and encouraging which statistically shouldn’t be the case. All lived experience tells me that groups that are obsessed with a specific topic/lifestyle are usually some of the worst people to be around. Doesn’t matter the subject. But somehow these nerds manage to be chill. 😆
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.
