The last few posts made here, they've shown up, made the most inane, idiotic, and pointless comments, upvoted each other in a frenzy of circle jerking, and generally made a pest of themselves.

They're a nuisance, and add nothing of value to the Lemmy experience.

I have filtered out a lot of the spammer accounts that just spew nonsense.

On one hand I'm lucky I can do that with sync. But on the other hand we shouldn't have to resort to whackamole.

I wouldn't mind if it was a few "bad apples", but every single fucking one of them are here to start arguments, call people racist, and generally act in the most abrasive manner possible.

What's the argument there? People shouldn't have oppositional discussions online? You just want to live in an echo chamber?

One of the saddest things about silicon valley social media products is the way they silo people off and prevent exchange of ideas.

And here on lemmy, reddit users who got used to it silo themselves off willingly.

People can disagree without being assholes or abrasive about it. I think that’s what ops referring to

[–] MORTARS@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's a common perception of people who are unable to bear someone disagreeing with them. I've looked at the actual discussions they're complaining about. Not impressed by this attempt to turn a tantrum into a site issue.

The issue, as other commitments have pointed out, is that they all, quite consistently, behave in the most abrasive manner possible. It's not a "few bad apples", they're all like that.

But op is literraly doing what they say they're not doing.
