    Yes. I have emotions and I react with them, especially when I infer emotion from the person I am talking to. I am not a robot.

    As far as some “Lemmy in-group” thing, do you think there are private meetings or something? Everyone here is an individual. If a majority of people disagree with someone, that doesn’t mean they’re part of a club.

      I’m not saying in-group like a conspiratorial cabal. I’m talking about the Lemmy mob suppressing any outside thoughts instantly, just like you did when you attacked the tone of OPs comment as “gleeful”. I’d like to see more engagement with arguments/facts rather than loading every comment with emotionally charged language. That’s my dream at least. I really don’t want to go back to Reddit….

        Reddit, the place where people who engage with arguments and facts rather than loading everything with emotionally charged language?

        And, again, I would suggest saying that there are Lemmy in-groups and calling it an echo chamber sounds like emotionally charged language rather than anything factual.

          They said that they DIDN’T want to go back to Reddit. As in, they do not want Lemmy to turn into what Reddit is.
