The last few posts made here, they've shown up, made the most inane, idiotic, and pointless comments, upvoted each other in a frenzy of circle jerking, and generally made a pest of themselves.

They're a nuisance, and add nothing of value to the Lemmy experience.

I wouldn't mind if it was a few "bad apples", but every single fucking one of them are here to start arguments, call people racist, and generally act in the most abrasive manner possible.

What's the argument there? People shouldn't have oppositional discussions online? You just want to live in an echo chamber?

One of the saddest things about silicon valley social media products is the way they silo people off and prevent exchange of ideas.

And here on lemmy, reddit users who got used to it silo themselves off willingly.

The issue is, there is no discussion or exchange of ideas happening, just a group of people behaving like seagulls.

Very good faith reply here. I have no choice but to take you at face value.
