      Same. Only been here a few days. yeah, my comments will get downloaded to hell, but so far the responses are somewhat civil. It’s a step up from what im used to! I also like how very downvoted comments arent automatically buried.

        If you’re coming from Reddit, 100%. Its also gotten better from when lemmy initially started popping off, there were many who were quick to personally attack others.

        Somewhat yeah, but I think there are a few others, just mostly not people who are that vocal about it

          Yeah I’m not really either but you just get attacked so I tend to stay out of politics here

          Other day I tried explaining to lemmy why it’s disrespectful to hang a LGBT flag on the side of a mountain and just got a bunch of hatred lol

            I’m sorry about that you got attacked. Also I’m not trying to restart it, and not trying to attack. I am genuinely curious what’s disrespectful

              I think protesting is great but not on El capitan in Yosemite. That’s just plain white people behaviour. It’s not just a rock, it’s an incredibly sacred place that has a great significance in human history and it transcends religions

              I’m a pantheist and I just personally find it super offensive which is why I bothered getting into it I guess. I know the demographic here doesn’t actually go outside or have a love for the mountains so I knew it would be a losing battle but damn man there’s just no fucking respect for nature anymore

              Mother Nature is literally going to make us extinct in the near future due to how we treated her yet white people still treat it like Disneyland

                That’s totally fair. I didn’t here anything about it so didn’t know the situation at all. Yea that can be kinda disrespectful.

                XD yea fair. My philosophy is very much human supremacist. Maybe some animals. But I don’t really care about nature other than it its useful and valued by people. But its also fair to have a different position.
