I'm not really sure there's much value in debating whether " How can anyone legitimately enjoy reading this, honestly?" counts as hate-mail - but telling a creator that their work sucks and everyone hates it is a shitty thing to do regardless. It definitely gets received as hate-mail.
Although having said that, the majority of this guy's posts on lemmy seem to be showing up in random communities and saying he thinks they're pointless or crap.
Fair, but if I would count every criticism as hate I'd drown in hate. It's worth- and pointless criticism, but is it hate? Block them, ignore them, let them live their shitty lives. Are downvotes hate? No, someone just tells me they don't share my opinion.
Edit: look, in not saying their opinion is good and valid and should be heard. They can eat a bag of rocks on a Friday. But giving them too much thought and emotional response just isn't the best for your own mental well-being, so just let them swallow their own negativity and ignore them.
I wouldn't count running into a community full of people having fun, and telling them they all suck and are stupid for having fun counts as... "criticism"
Is it an opinion? yes. Is it "criticism"? no. It's just negativity for negativity's sake.
