I think this is exactly what I’d like to change about Lemmy’s culture, the same thing that happened (more extreme) to Reddit.
The guy above you made a stupid remark. Then you come along and say to yourself “I bet I can out-asshole this guy, let me write something equally asinine and insulting, that will raise the level of this discussion” The same lame brained tit-for-tat bullshit that destroys our political debate.
