I have seen many comments saying that lemmy.world sucks, and sh.itjust.works is good. I have seen that lemmy.world apparently has a very poor reputation among other instances. Why? After a quick look, sh.itjust.works doesn't look much different to me. Can anyone explain?

Edit: many good replies. the conclusion I'm drawing is that for my purposes it doesn't really matter. I appreciate everyone who responded

Have you stopped to consider that maybe you're just an asshole?

No, seriously, you're whining about being called a tankie when... like dude, you're a tankie. Half your comments are just bringing up how EU/UK support for Ukraine's defense is a frivolous waste or similar. I doubt you think of yourself like this but to an outside observer you're deeply toxic.

… the root of the problem is your apparent compulsion to call people “toxic” and “assholes” for having different views.

They're not calling you that for having different views. They're calling you that for making up reasons to offend yourself and acting like a toxic drama queen. And the ratio shows they aren't alone.

And what is your reason for adding your personal attack to this already well populated debate ?

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 7 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

You're doing it again. Me pointing out a simple fact. That you brought up two different things which the author never even addressed. In order to turn yourself into some victim. That is a simple fact. If you feel that it is an attack on you to have that pointed out. Perhaps you need to look inwards.

you joined a debate, just to give your opinion of me.

You should really think about how a fairly straightforward reframing of your actions reads, even to you, like an intentionally negative characterization (or even an attack). If thats how it looks to you, imagine how it must look to other people.

An account of your actions is not an opinion. Please take the gaslighting somewhere else.

Ah yes, the "no u" gambit. Classic, deadly, refined. The most elegant of rebuttals. A refuge for only the sharpest of wits.

Anyways, do you mean different views like say, someone holding different (and by your own admission, quite common) opinions about how your conduct reflects on your character...?
