It feels like this is very intense here compared to other social media services/protocols.

Why is that?

    Mute lemmygrad, hexbear, .ml and maybe blahaj and see if you still feel the same afterwards.

      I do not like defederation. Users can block instances on their own. Admins should only defederate from illegal instances. For other instances, users can block them if they want. They can also unblock them later. I think defederation is not good. That is why I chose .zip. People on Lemmy should worry about this. The Fediverse is about connecting all instances. But some instances break this connection.

        Oh, nothing, but the complaint is “too much groupthink”, and users on that instance tend to have a lot of solidarity and surface issues and topics that a fair chunk of the lemmy user base probably don’t usually see in their other social feeds.

        You get the oddball standout asshole from them on occasion.

        That being said, I don’t think they pop up at a rate that’s abnormal compared to the other big servers. Though their assholes have a specific attitude that you can kinda tell they’re from Blahaj without looking, though I can’t put my finger on what exactly that is.

        Then again, assholes from Lemmy.ml also have commonalities, and I assume the same from sh.itjust.works and Lemmy.world. Maybe it’s them catering to sexual minorities that makes them stick out, but again it’s really hard to explain what’s different

          Tbh it’s probably the aura of condescending bitchiness, paired with a slightly fruitier and more youthful vocab than most of the threadiverse (except maybe hexbear? Idk, they’re defederated from us)

          To my fellow Blåhaj users

          No offence intended by the above. After all, I’m clearly talking about myself here. Sorry, but none of y’all are nearly as belligerent and annoying as I am, so—egocentric as I am—I can only surmise these guys are vagueposting about me.

            You’re definitely not one of the Blahaj users I’m referring to (not sure about the person I replied to though). I’m fairly certain I blocked the Blahaj users that I’ve butted heads with in the past
