Truly a pretty terrible place for any kind of social activity.
People here are super self righteous and unwavering in their beliefs, quick to insult others and be generally bitchy, pedantic and quick to dogpile. Worst of all while still usually slightly wrong about a thing, but unwilling to hear it.
It’s basically the worst parts of reddit users where we have boiled it down to the most affluent or socially insecure.
Even if it’s as simple as a question people jump to defend their position with insults rather than answer it cause they get worried the person might be confused and it’s best to just make sure it’s a closed community as quick as possible.
This isn’t an open community it’s a private gated one where everyone jumped the fence and is scared that the wrong person might have come in with them.
Condescending is not welcoming.
Upvoting cause they are your in group isn’t community.
Berating outcasts cause you at least don’t feel like them is still bullying.
Hahahahahahaha ohhhh… Yeah like that does anything. I’ve seen mods joke about it just being the person they all gang up on as if it was the thing to do.
I’ve had some good interactions with mods, but that… Was 1 person actually. Same mod basically.
The mods are a lot of the same people and someone from “outside” telling them they are horrified just brands you as another target for them to ignore as you get silenced out. The big communities are absolutely the worst offenders.
If they are mods, then you can shame them on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
You can have a look, nobody hesitates to call out crappy mod behaviour
Edit: seems like your instance is not federated, this is what it looks like: https://sopuli.xyz/c/yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Hahaha oh my God that’s kinda fun. Sorta a go scream on a mountain top style solution but a fun one at least.
I filed a few of these reports myself, it’s nice.
And you can use them to send to people posting to a community held by a powertripper. They help making a change.
