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

    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.
