Look, I came for an argument. This isn't an argument!
Yes it is!
No it isn't.
Actually we're all mutually participating in a satire thread! Fite me!
It's the best argument, tremendous, irrefutable.
It’s the worst argument because you’re in it!
There is no point in arguing about that
What is even happening in this gif
Don’t feel bad for blocking the worst offenders. Lemmy is small enough for that option to work quite well. Which is the best you can do. Being ignored drives them crazy.
No it doesn't
You motherfucker…
Actually there's more than enough people on lemmy
Yep agreed. Everyone's views are different, and there is definitively going to be some opposition.
I don't mean to be memey, but personally I find the "hive mind" here to be way more homogeneous than on reddit. Unless you count different engineering fields as different viewpoints. There are way fewer creatives and trades here. And the engineery types like to pile on to any point of view that doesn't match their world view.
You definitely do have to work harder to find more diverse viewpoints here. It's a bit of a chicken and egg problem. At least on mastodon you can specifically follow people who talk about things outside your realm of experience.
It's called "engagement", sweaty, deal with it
/s
"Sweaty"? I believe you mean "sweety".
(That's part of the joke.)
(Unless you're also saying that to be a contrarian, then well played.)
Uhhhhh yes I absolutely meant that as a contrarian, I 100% am not seriously correcting you
Look up "thebootydiaries tumblr sweaty" and give the images that come up a brief scroll. I'm not very creative so I'm just gonna tell you that we can do this all day.
(edit: I've realized you probably already know about this and I'm the one missing the joke but i saw a brief opportunity to contribute and took it so I'm not taking it down.)

Them and the weasels are the worst:
when I saw this I thought "what does this guy have against weasels??" before realising that this wasn't an anti-weasel comment
Oh god saving this 😂
Thanks, I made it to respond to some persnickety dick cheese on here.
my dude is in the End dimension
Seconds away from getting absolutely yeeted by the Ender Dragon.
no he isn't he's just at a cliff !!!
What's the origin of this photo? It looks really cool.
I once said that children who steal can be rehabilitated or taught to be productive members of society.
Downvoted to oblivion while everyone else celebrated the death of 3 kids because "all thieves deserve to die".
With statements like this there's almost always some context left out, but even in the best case this feels like cheering on the death penalty
I'm sorry that happened. People should be able to have a real discussion about issues without attacking common sense.
So in that case you would be the contrarian that this post is talking about. It's almost as though critical thinking is good. Reactionaries may be the most vocal and abundant people on some posts, but that doesn't mean they are right or willing to take a good look and discuss the topic at hand

"The world could be a better place"
NO IT COULDN'T!!
you can sense the change in air pressure as several walls of NUH-UH are rapidly approaching your position to explain in excruciating detail why and how the point you made wasn't nearly as reasonable as you believed it had been. or just yell at you a lot >_>;
NUH-UH is lemmys catch phrase.
What about the exception-makers. They agree…sorta, but always have to carve out a little spot for them to be more right, or you wrong, in an often irrelevant way.
Well, actually, exceptions can be important to lend blanket statements some nuance. Wait, I'm doing it right now, aren't I?
Where's your evidence? Not mine I'll just ghost the reply
Can confirm; am asshole contrarian.
Bullshit. Not a chance you are a contrarian. /J
