I support most of what is said here, but users from here tend to be very aggressive and combative. Everything is politics and pretending otherwise is very lib, so I can both understand why you do it and why people find it annoying.
In the early days, this sub was constantly brigaded by chuds, terfs, libs, patsocs, wreckers and branches of leftism that were somehow even more online than us and had an irrational hatred of us for reasons that frankly I never cared enough to bother learning. Like any such place, that means we're used to people coming in "just asking questions" with a bad take, and turning out to be a concern troll rather than someone asking in good faith and open to changing their mind.
This produced a culture of radical, frank struggle sessions, an approach to moderation that the Cheka circa 1919 would think lacks due process (and is good and cool and has made this place possibly the most LGBT friendly place on the net.), and a bad habit of dunking for a laugh. We're not nearly as edgy as a first impression might give, though.
We are aggressive and combative against racism, ableism, transaphobia or when someone is attacking one of us or our community...that is what gives us the moral high ground.
Those are literally the only things we have got remotely aggressive with on the fediverse so far.
and homophobia, and capitalism, and sexism and imperialism and colonialism and bazinga brain, most importantly bazinga brain
I only listed the ones I seen us dogpile nerds for since federating. Lol
You must've missed the 1300+ comment thread about a succdem meme then lol

♥️
Since @silent_water@hexbear.net asked for it, I found the thread again. I figured youd might want to see it too https://hexbear.net/post/385753?scrollToComments=false
oh my god if you remember the title can you post a link? I extremely want to read that.
That thread is what made me log in again - Or it would've been if my password hadn't mysteriously changed. Rip to a three-year old account
.
I can find it by digging to my first few comments - I think I posted 50 comments or something like that in there, it's good to be back
Anyway, rambling over here you go
THANK YOU
You're welcome <3
Go reignite it, get it back in active so we can cross 2000 comments lol.
Also disinformation and liberal bullshit
We're hyper aggressive when it comes to certain things like hate.
This is then used by racists and bigots to claim we're aggressive all the time. And because they say it ALL THE TIME it begins to be believed by people, even if that's literally the only context in which they've seen our people get that hostile.
Stop right there, criminal scum! Nobody breaks the law on my watch!
Yes.
Yes.
You are getting it
