I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit. (lemmy.world)

i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.

As in what opinions are causing arguments.

Edit: ah, you're a Christian. Yeah if I'm being honest I hope most Christians stay out of here. Relgious folks as a whole honestly. Don't need the toxic rhetoric that they bring to the table, with everything happening in america. I don't think any Christian should be surprised to find themselves hated by less religious folks.

Found the problem, folks. Seriously WTF how can someone say something like this with a straight face.

This is exactly what I’m talking about - I’m not Christian, I think Christianity is extremely bad (hell, one of my only two posts is a song by Greek Black Metal band Rotting Christ).

People just assume the worst if they don’t agree slightly with your opinion.

Edit: accidentally replied to this twice instead of your next reply.

Oh lol yeah, I totally misread that.

Well I can tell you you have a blind spot when it comes to Israel. That seems to regularly cause arguments.

Have you considered that maybe you have a blind spot?

The majnstream opinion on a subject is not always the correct one.

Anyway I don’t want to argue about this, let’s just agree to disagree.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, I'm not gonna agree to disagree. But I am willing to leave it at you're wrong.

Thank you for proving my original point in this thread, I guess.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

All too happy to.

Lol I assume I probably disagree with his position, but has he actually stated it anywhere yet?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I understood the question, but you can just look at my comment history of you’re curious.

I’m not gonna list all my controversial opinions in a comment, and I also don’t necessarily know which ones are considered controversial on Lemmy before I share them.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I did that and edited.
