Seems people frequently talk about negative experiences of them then end up banned shortly after

Also seems like people are weirdly quick to jump to their defense for the internet

    Go check what’s happening on shitjustworks instance currently and say that again. It’s absolutely not just a problem of “posting culture”, that’s downplaying who they are and what they do.

    They’re just straight up toxic 99% of the time and they don’t seem to want to do anything about it. It’s a resounding echo of a sentiment on most Lemmy instances that it is how they act and yet, I still see weird and factually wrong takes like this.

      I feel like we’re playing a semantics game here.

      We are definitely referring to the same behavior.

      They run around the fediverse picking ten arguments at a time, getting in people’s faces, escalating moderation decisions to instance admins and generally have zero chill.

      This is, for most people including me, toxic behavior. They have a toxic posting culture.

      yet, I still see weird and factually wrong takes like this.

      It helps if you engage with the “takes” before you label them.

        Point being that simply calling it a different “posting cultures” isn’t just semantic, it’s downplaying what they do.

        We shouldn’t downplay racists, genocide deniers and trolls.

          I am downplaying nothing. I call it “culture” because it’s not about a substantive disagreement about politics or ideology. It’s about the way they engage with each other and the world around them. There is a word for that. It’s called culture.

          I find your insistence to dig in here frankly a bit baffling.
