oldie meme but needed to bring this back due to recent incidents 😭
In my experience, this happens way less on Lemmy than on Reddit before the IPO.

I'm convinced that most people don't read anything before sharing their opinion. An opinion with zero relevance or weight is absolutely useless.
DEADASS!!!
So you admit that you're checking me out? And you wanna mate?
whut da hell
Oh sorry I was making a reference to Xavier: Renegade Angel, where Xavier somehow misinterprets the phrase "Checkmate" to be a proposition for sex, from a clone of himself. (One of those.. "Did I watch this at 3am one night or was that a fever dream?" shows)
bwahahaha good to clarify i would never have guessed that
TBF, I understand this annoying kind of 'reading into it'. at the same time, if someone starts dropping dogwhistles or starts dancing around something in a convo, i am definitely gonna read into that shit.
If you don't like waffles just say it...
Me when I talk to my wife...
you too? im sorry dude
Idk, she's super cool to me.
This is anywhere on the internet.
This is anywhere, period. You can do that with letters, you can do that with speeches, or in casual conversations.
And you're not always wrong about it either.
If you've played Disco Elysium, "Welcome to Revachol". If you haven't, play it. It's an amazing game
This is just text written anywhere. There's an art to making yourself understood in different contexts.
yeah :p bit of a hyperbolic statement my fault
Well, the original post was as well, so fair enough!
Me: "I like pancakes"
Lemmy: "Only a shitlib western imperialist would think that. Read more Lenin."
Me: “I like waffles”
Lemmy: “HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO GO MY LIFE WITHOUT PANCAKES YOU OPPRESSIVE INSENSITIVE FUCK”

What…. This is on par with any kind of internet discourse. It’s pretty much why I hardly ever post prior to Lemmy. It doesn’t matter how well articulated the post, SOMEONE will find the need to correct or clarify unnecessarily.
it’s really sad because i take great pride and pleasure from reading other people’s thoughts and posts. but when i try to give back, it’s immediately jumped on by dogpilers and “oh you actually meant something else…” people. and when i do the bare minimum to defend myself, they slap back with the “okay buddy, sure” and downvote my defense so it’s invisible to other readers.
needless to say my blocklist is nearing 100 users.
and downvote my defense so it’s invisible to other readers.
Lemmy isn't an endless torrent of comments. Even downvoted ones get reached.
Wanna get mad? Yesterday drag made a similar post criticising Lemmy, but it focused on the transphobia on the platform. -46 downvotes. Thread full of transphobia anyway. On Blahaj. https://lemmy.nz/post/17415487
hmm i honestly just don’t understand what the post is trying to say. it’s a bit unclear to me but im sorry there was confusion and hard feelings going on
Anyone who thinks pretending to be trans is an effective troll hates trans people.
see i agree with that statement when written out like that. the post doesn’t really do anything to get me to that notion on its own though.
Hm. Maybe it was too subtle? Cunk is explaining why "trolls pretending to be trans" is supposed to be a problem on Lemmy, using her usual brand of accidentally telling it like it is. Lemmy only has a "troll problem" because Lemmy users hate trans people. No trans hate, no troll problem. If everyone respected trans people, nobody would be getting called a troll. If anyone actually tried to troll that way, they'd be met with acceptance and have no power.
hmmm try workshopping different ways to express this thought, i’m quite lost sorry :(
All drag's friends on Discord understood the joke on their first read. Drag isn't sure where the misunderstanding is. We're currently in a voice call trying to figure out why anyone doesn't understand this one. Drag's friend suggested maybe you don't think Lemmy is full of transphobes, but drag thinks you do, since you've said Lemmy is very misogynistic, and those two things go together. Maybe you didn't understand that Cunk is supposed to be wrong about the trolls actually existing but right about what the problem the users have is?
oh okay i get it now. it’s… dense. i usually understand the more complex memes but this one is impenetrable to me. i’m not surprised others had a bad time.
Out of curiosity, have you ever watched a Philomena Cunk show? Drag is wondering if that's part of what makes the difference
i have seen and love her show
-"Russia should not invade a sovereign country, murder its citizens and deport their children."
-"Umm, actually, the US were doing crimes in Syria and you should not support them."

Bravery is leaving both the ifunny and imgflip watermarks.
Prior to the US election, there were many people that did this exact thing- only it was “oh yeah? Well… you support genocide!”
They’re rarely here anymore. Which is what was predicted that typically warranted their response to begin with.
