I read some people who vent on their posts or talk about problems they face in life and the replies they get is, no you are the problem, fuck you.

On Reddit, the only thing that is close to this is when women complain about their boyfriends, they got told to leave them, whatever is her complaint about.

Any explanation?

Disclaimer: I am not talking about my own experiences here, but rather what I read in other posts, my observations could be wrong.

    People don’t seem to understand or care when a post is just to vent and the individual isn’t looking for feedback. Some people have a really hard time not chiming in with their take.

    Reddit, Lemmy, and other Reddit-likes aren’t unidirectional blogging platforms. Primarily they’re link/image aggregators, but ever since the early introduction of comments, they’re also places for people to share their thoughts on the things people post. If you want a place to vent with no expectation of honest feedback, you should be using either 1) a community (shoehorned) within the Reddit-like which is expressly moderated that way or 2) a blog or microblog.
