OK, so you read the person’s comment and had 2 possible conclusions, 1. That they advocate murdering puppies. 2. They’re making a joke about pinkwashing similar to OP, and you went with 1, because of their instance.
Yeah, here, where we treasure inclusion, freedom, and human rights, we don’t really talk with those people. They are weird and obnoxious. Fortunately, it’s easy to spot them. No, no, not by their skin colour, just the name of their instance. No, no, it’s nothing like hating people from a certain country, silly, it’s about an entire Lemmy instance, it’s completely different!
An instance is a choice. Aligning oneself to .ml has meaning and it’s perfectly sensible to judge people by the meaningful choices they make and communicate.
You expect Joe Average and Jane Random to not only have to deal with Fediverse’s fragmentation, not only have to figure out which instances are actually maintained and relatively active, you expect them to also research the politics of each instance before they sign up? And it’s not just that you expect Joe Average, and Jane Random to do that, you’re so certain they actually do it, that you’re perfectly comfortable assuming every single .ml user has identical political views and stances?
You expect Joe Average and Jane Random to not only have to deal with clothing’s fragmentation, not only have to figure out which garments can actually be worn and relatively warm, you expect them to also research the politics of each piece of clothing before they wear it in public? And it’s not just that you expect Joe Average, and Jane Random to do that, you’re so certain they actually do it, that you’re perfectly comfortable assuming every single portrait-of-Mao-wearing person has identical political views and stances?
Are you saying that if you see someone eating a Nestlé product, you just punch them in the face? Or call them names? Or, if it’s a family member/friend, you immediately cut them off? Because they should’ve done their research?
I’m not punching anyone or calling them names. I’m judging them and tell them that their actions leave a certain impression. And yes, if somebody knowingly buys nestle, I won’t value their opinion on sustainable products or supply nets or listen to them when it comes to that topic 🤷. Tough shit. If you wear a badge you might better check what it represents.
What the fu… oh, a lemmy.ml account, never mind.

Am I understanding this correctly?
Seems like you haven’t interacted with .ml people a lot, otherwise you wouldn’t make it sound as if it doesn’t make sense.

Holy shit, are you serious…?

Am I getting this right?
That’s how you sound.
It sounds the same because it is the same thing!

It only makes sense if you attribute all things you don’t like to any person you don’t like.
Talking to or about people like they’re cartoon villains instead of actual people isn’t productive.
Not cartoon villains. Just a gaggle of moroons.
Quit squirming, you, M137, and Asetru aren’t thinking of users of the other instance of actual people but some weird caricature ya’ll made up.
You don’t get from “I think they’re not very bright” to “Also I think they think murdering puppies is OK when queer people do it” otherwise.
Feddit doesn’t load in asia.
