Eh, maybe you’re right, but I was getting dogpiled
We don’t have downvotes on our instance. When we disagree or think a comment adds nothing, we tend to respond.
That’s why you got so many answers, which you describe as “dogpiling”. If you want to defend your position, responding to only one of those is perfectly fine.
Also for fuck’s sake:
I don’t think I even encountered this much toxicity on reddit, this is ridiculous
Nobody was toxic with you in this thread, nothing beyond being a bit harsh-toned. Reddit is far much worse. Again, probably you felt like that because of the sheer amount of answers you got.
The other day, I hate a post that said something about China/Tiananmen Square, and had so many comments complaining
Got a link ? because I suspect the comments in answer to you were not just “complaining” but were also argued and provided information.
