My experience on this platform has been mixed so far but one thing I’ve noticed the most is a significant contingent of the user base is really reactionary in their discourse.

This is a very typical exchange I have here :

User: I don’t like this color because it’s red.

Me: I don’t know, looks more like purple to me. What about red is bad?

User: Why don’t you fuck yourself in the face you fucking cuntfuck!

Me: OK…

Like, what gives? I don’t have this experience on other platforms. I have arguments but never this shutdown meccanism.

      Thanks.

      The issue is I am argumentative. I like having disagreents and most of all I like hearing different points of view. If this sounds like a vanilla take, it’s because it is.

      If I disagree with people on fb or insta or ask to verify the facts of an event there I will get push back or I will learn something new. I will also hear some combative words. Nothing strange.

      If I ask about the facts of the matter here:

      • “blocked”

      • “troll”

      • “fuck you you cuntfuck defender of Kyle Rittenhouse. Eat dick.”

      • “I have you labeled as conservative cuck”

      On. And on. And on. But it’s OK, because apparently asking for facts is justification to garner this, right?

      What gives?
