Very well-stated (& calm) response to what is turning into a heated discussion about users on the hexbear.net instance (lemmy.one)

They hit the nail on the head, there.

There was an asklemmy thread asking something like "what change would you like to see on Lemmy", and I answered that I'd like to see the communists be nicer. I tried to be gentle to not upset them, but I guess they just have a victim mentality and some of them decided to defend their shit attitude. It went about how I expected.

I was just glad I didn't get banned, but that's more of a problem with lemmy.ml (I'm not privy to how things are handled on hexbear).

Yeah I’m a communist and I agree. Like, dude even just tactically nobody wants to agree with people who act like that. I get that it’s frustrating when people disagree with things you believe to be fundamental moral issues, but also don’t be a dick to people who do agree or want to know more.

There’s a reason I don’t tell most people I’m a communist, they have bad opinions of us. I instead say what I believe and often they’re open to it. Some even agree. They can learn that that’s communism later
