out of the loop on the drama? here’s a breakdown: https://lemmy.cafe/comment/9410682
The number of people who think it’s faster or easier to post an angry comment than block a community is far too high.

IMO it has to do with people needing validation online. The more people that agree with them, the more they think that their way of thinking is right and just. They then shift to communities and people that don't point out the fallacies in their views which is colloquially called an "echochamber". Then it just snowballs into this sort of subculture or tribe that foams at the mouth any time someone comes along with a different opinion which creates overly dramatic situations like this that would never occur in the real world, but people like to put their internet armor on and draw their ego swords thinking their entire way of life is being threatened because someone says something like "Why are you so agressive to these other people?"
This drama has spread through at least 5 communities that I'm aware of so far. It's not just one.
Should be
- !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone , the new community
- !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com , as it's about power tripping
- !fedimemes@feddit.uk , as there are memes being made about it
Sure, those, and the other two 196 communities we now have.
- !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone has existed for a few years
- !196@lemmy.world is also 2 years old
Thank you for listing their ages, I guess?
I don't think expressing frustration was about efficiency
I enjoy the posts! Never actually been in a 196 community, here or on Reddit, but I'm all for it
hell yea :3
