You made a coherent argument as to why you use a service, specific to yourself. You get downvoted for doing so. Never change, lemmy.
...Or, perhaps, do change. Y'all can still sniff your own farts if y'all pull y'all's heads slightly out of your asses.
Given this choice, I'm confident Lemmy will double down, every time.
I remember when I was a kid, at some point in early highschool we had a colleague who was a bit dumb and had blond hair (in a country were that's pretty rare) so he was commonly bullied and called "piss head" and I did join on the bullying once or twice.
Still to this day I sometimes think of it and feel guilty of, even as a kid myself, having been an asshole to that kid simply to feel I was part of the group.
Sometimes I have the impression that even here in Lemmy a lot of supposedly adults either were always assholes and will always be so, or didn't go through that part of maturing were you figure out that pilling up on somebody just to be "one of the crowd" isn't exactly a mature adult thing to do.
Or maybe I'm just overeading it or projecting.
