I think the internet would be a lot better if more people could articulate why they personally don't like something without insulting the intelligence, taste or morals of people who do enjoy that thing

This isn't a subchost of anything or any single post in particular, but it's something I've noticed is very common on here

I worry this site is at risk of developing a sort of Wiser, More Authentic And With Better Taste Than You elitism in it's culture

tbh it's. A little frustrating here, and it's one of the reasons people I know who refuse to use cohost cite for not doing so. We need to be more accepting of people who just. Enjoy things we don't.

this exists everywhere on the internet and i promise yall nothing bad will happen if you block people who spray aerosolized condescension

if people are willing to be shitty in the generic about music or cartoons or whatever you can bet that is going to be an easy place for them to go during conflict. block everyone who looks at you sideways. you owe nobody your time or brain

i block people all the time for getting weird or aggro in other peoples comments and as a result disk horsing never reaches my feed

people should act better but until then you can annihilate their presence from your universe, utterly

It's not just here, and it's not just in the negative, unfortunately. Especially for the big franchises, it feels like every release is either the best thing ever produced (and anybody who disagrees must not be honest) or a destruction of cherished treasures (and anybody who disagrees has been brainwashed by The Man). It's especially sad when it revolves around big franchises, because you'd think that nobody in a space like this would care about recruiting fans to or away from big brands...

Which is wild to me, because this is the one site on the internet where I don't get harassed almost ever

My experiences on Twitter Mastodon and hell even Discord have made me really reluctant to be anywhere else, this place is by comparison a lot more fucking chill

Maybe there's something I'm missing, but

I mean if people are being explicitly or even indirectly harsh to you just block them, it's like Twitter or Tumblr or anywhere else, you don't owe them the time of day, and culture be damned.

Someone's always going to be passing judgment, someone's always going to be shitty, someone's always going to hate our guts. Maybe I'm just too cynical, I don't know, but I constantly think you're silently judging me, and I have to chalk that up to my own paranoia and not any actual concrete thing.

But I'm cranky, so also don't listen to me. I'm old, and jaded, and used to being loud and picking a fight if someone's talking down to me, because it was the only way to be myself and who I wanted to be under constant outside pressure. I lost fights that made me change my perspective, too. Maybe I'm just getting defensive because I hear you describing this place as the thing that drove me away from literally everywhere else, and I've never experienced it in this place, and I might honestly be part of your problem.
