You objectively need to lighten up. This WAS supposed to be a fun post and you've unintentionally (good faith interpretation) sowed discord here where it wasn't otherwise palpable.

No offense guy, I want you here as much as anyone but this isn't Lemmy.Fucking.ML, c'mon man

[–] Globulart@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I feel plenty light mate. I'm pretty amused by the reaction to be honest, particularly the irony being accused of redditor behaviour by someone who literally went through my posts to make that point.

I'm just slowly realising that lemmy isn't what I wanted it to be, I.e. Reddit without the greed.

Maybe this wasn't the post for my comment but it's done now and I stand by the point I'm making. This joke post does highlight the biggest issue with lemmy imo.

It's funny because it's true I guess...

Less drama please, i meant what i said. Let us know how many months you commit to leave and when we can expect you back and someone will set a remind:me thing or whatever. But none of us are that important singularly so I hope you adjust that cuz its offputting at best

[–] Globulart@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Honestly mate I think I understood about half the post.

I'm not trying to be dramatic, I'm literally just calling it as I see it.

How many months I commit to leave? What?

Adjust what? My opinion?

Being offputting is exactly the criticism I'm making about lemmy and it's current problems. This comment is to my comment what my comment is to this post (if I've understood that part correctly).

Beo?

Honestly, i dont blame you for posting, i blame the OP for creating an instant divide, the tenor of what he requests is "jokey" the he added space for the downer stuff.

Don't get me wrong you guys have valid points but its just annoying that everything is blended into one. That's poor form on the part of the OP, I hope theg see this and do better.

You're aftually fine, we shouldn't need to fight here and I take ownership of my part in that, but you can see from my history i interpreted this (OP's post) as a prompt for funny and lighthearted stuff. If I want the issues and problems and dissatisfactions, I will click on a discrete post about same. Its silly to ask for both in one megapost, everybody's gonna be pissed about having to deal with the opposing side

Thanks and sorry for any misunderstanding/sass on my part

Edit: this is a great example of powerful people setting the agenda and framing things in a monolithic+inappropos way to get the little people fighting and "downvoting"/reducing each other like lobsters in a bucket when we could realize we can knock the bucket over and kill the asshole who set up the bucket that way and take over Crab-People style

[–] Globulart@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's all good bud, ironically enough this post is the most I've enjoyed lemmy for weeks. Proper in depth discussion is all I want, with people who have opposing views and might make me think about my own.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I love it so much. I am a deep believer in the dialectical

proper in depth discussion

Try and stop us aha ;)

[–] NotSpez@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I (OP) just read this. What is it you suggest I do better next time? I couldn’t completely understand from the thread.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

So if I were you, I would do two seperate threads

  1. Jokey thread (+ positive)
  2. room for improvement/complaints/sad or angry stuff (- negative)

N'er may the two meet :)

[–] NotSpez@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I respectfully disagree.

Joking about our own shortcomings/not taking ourselves too seriously is, to me, a valid form of humour and a nice way of expressing ourselves.

I am sorry that my post was not to everyone’s taste.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You should at least keep that at the very beginning (like the first thing people see so they notice and take it into account)

[–] NotSpez@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks for your answer.

In my thinking I had done that by stating non-serious answers also welcome in the first part of the post. Should that have been phrased differently?

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

You should put it at the very top/start of the post. Like people should immediately see on the first line your disclaimer
