The last few posts made here, they've shown up, made the most inane, idiotic, and pointless comments, upvoted each other in a frenzy of circle jerking, and generally made a pest of themselves.

They're a nuisance, and add nothing of value to the Lemmy experience.

I wouldn't mind if it was a few "bad apples", but every single fucking one of them are here to start arguments, call people racist, and generally act in the most abrasive manner possible.

    What's the argument there? People shouldn't have oppositional discussions online? You just want to live in an echo chamber?

    One of the saddest things about silicon valley social media products is the way they silo people off and prevent exchange of ideas.

    And here on lemmy, reddit users who got used to it silo themselves off willingly.

    That's a common perception of people who are unable to bear someone disagreeing with them. I've looked at the actual discussions they're complaining about. Not impressed by this attempt to turn a tantrum into a site issue.

    The issue, as other commitments have pointed out, is that they all, quite consistently, behave in the most abrasive manner possible. It's not a "few bad apples", they're all like that.

    Wow how can he bear that kind of sustained harassment? Glad he's holding up well.

    The issue is, there is no discussion or exchange of ideas happening, just a group of people behaving like seagulls.

    i mean, bro, you're being racist as fuck in that other thread.

    i'm not from hexbear, you gonna start a thread about kbin, now, too?

    Oh boy, don't get me started on kbin. Soooo much spam. About 90% of our spam reports (for actual spam) are for kbin.social posts, and I presume the reports don't federate to kbin so I just remove it from our view and then it stays on kbin 🙁

    Seriously if you have a suggestion I'd love to hear it. There are too many thoughtful kbin participants to consider defederation. But oh boy is the spam annoying.

    It's really not hard to remember. You'd only think that if you didn't try to say it once even. Papakanghorohoro or something

    you literally only missed an a in kanga

    i didn't have to look it up to know this

    you know why? because i already knew the word papa and horohoro is the same fucking sound repeated twice. there is no possible reason this could be anything other than racist. i'm not from new zealand and i learned the word in fifteen seconds and i know fucking no te reo besides te reo, maori, haka and fucking PAPAKANGAHOROHORO

    The term "racist" gets thrown about with so little though these days, it's effectively meaningless.

    or maybe people keep calling you that for a very good reason: you're a fucking racist

    what other reason could you have for denying the legitimacy of one of your country's official languages? why would you be othering it?

    you're a fucking racist. own it or fix it, but either way shut the fuck up.

    There's plenty of names that are a nightmare to say in other languages, it's not about the language, it's that it will be an ongoing headache for the residents of the street.

    And frankly, I think their voice is the most important one, because they're the ones living here.

    cool. how is papakangahorohoro hard to say or hard to remember? i literally just typed it from memory and i've seen it all of five times before. i know no te reo besides te reo, haka, maori and PAPAKANGAHOROHORO

    "other languages" aren't we talking about one of the OFFICIAL LANGUAGES of New Zealand? yeah bro, you're racist as fuck.

    Wait, the people living in a place are the most important voices? Jesus fucking Christ the irony.
